Ocean Engineering
At blueOASIS we are experts in the numerical modelling of floating offshore structures and are eager to tackle new challenges.
From lower fidelity models useful for design scoping studies or resource assessment, to high-fidelity models (CFD) to capture survival mooring loads for floating offshore wind turbines or thruster-thruster interactions in offshore vessels, we are committed to delivering excellence in ocean engineering for a sustainable future.
