Usual specially designed barges are involved in the off-shore operations that have to be evaluated by several criteria, inclusive of the seakeeping capabilities. The paper includes a comparative seakeeping study of two constructive versions for a large off-shore barge with a length of 189 m, having different breadths 40 m and 50 m. Both constructive versions are on the full cargo 23000 t condition. The seakeeping analyses are done with our own software DYN-OSC, developed by linear potential Lewis’s strip theory. The seakeeping studies are done in oblique irregular waves with a maximum height of 12 m and for the off-shore barge maximum operation speed of 7 knots. The results of this comparative study reveal the differences in the seakeeping operation capabilities for the two off-shore barge constructive versions.
