 | DONUT #MooringIntegrity #Offshore
Donut is a multiple-phase Joint Industry Project (JIP) aiming at enabling remote assessment of mooring systems underwater.
Reliable assessment of the integrity of mooring lines is of critical importance for the operation of floating energy production units, such as Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) and Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO). Damage in the mooring lines can create unacceptable risks to the entire asset and the subsea environment. The feasibility of detection, localization, and characterization of corrosion and fatigue damage in subsea chain links using active and passive techniques are investigated in this project, with the aim of creating/updating a digital twin of the mooring system.

 | DIMPACT+#MRE#SeakeepingAndSloshing
This project aims to explore in depth the assessment of extreme striking wave loads, also known as "slamming loads", on fixes and floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT).
DIMPACT+ is a continuation of the previous DIMPACT JIP, which resulted in new methods for computing slamming loads on FOWT.
DIMPACT+ intends to improve DIMPACT’s slamming loads methods, extend them to bottom-fixed technologies with a focus on deep water bottom-fixed and shallow water with strong bottom slope, and develop a specific approach for the definition of the design sea states in presence of breaking waves.
