The OMAE 2011 team 

of young engineers 


Welcome from the Conference Chair 

I have the pleasure to welcome you to the City and 

Port of Rotterdam! Rotterdam is best characterized 

by its famous saying ‘Geen woorden maar daden’, 

which says as much as ‘Actions speak louder than 

words’. That is why Rotterdam was our first choice 

as the OMAE 2011 location in the Netherlands: it’s 

a port, not a resort! This is where this important 

offshore conference, with its ideal mix of people 

from industry and academia, belongs. With a record 

number of more than 800 reviewed papers, OMAE 

2011 in Rotterdam is an ideal forum for offshore 

engineers, researchers, managers and students to 

present their progress in research and innovative 

technology. The opportunity to see real offshore 

structures during the Rotterdam Offshore Boat Tour 

makes it an even more unique event. The 30 th OMAE 

in Rotterdam should therefore be ‘the Offshore 

Experience’! 

OMAE 2011 has been organized by KIVI 

NIRIA (Royal Institute of Engineers) and a team of 

volunteers from the Dutch offshore and shipbuilding 

industry. The unique thing about this OMAE 

conference is that it has been developed by a team of 

25 young engineers, together with the regular Local 

Organizing Committee. This team has organized 

special events and has given the conference a 

special flavor. This co-operation not only makes 

the conference itself a wonderful event, but also 

stimulates young engineers to be involved in research 

and innovation. 

OMAE 2011 is a ‘special product’ of the 

broad offshore industry in the Netherlands with 

contributions from Allseas, Biglift, Bluewater, Bosch 

Rexroth, Boskalis, Dockwise, GustoMSC, Heerema 

Marine Contractors, Huisman Equipment, IHC 

Merwede, KeppelVerolme, MARIN, Shell, Smit, The 

Offshore Partners and TU Delft. This has resulted in 

the following highlights: 

• An interesting Technical Opening Session entitled 

‘Going Deep!’ that discusses the challenges of new 

activities offshore: floating wind, deep water salvage 

and deep-sea mining 

• Three special Symposia for Dutch researchers who 

gave important contributions to offshore research: 

Jan Vugts, Jo Pinkster and Johan Wichers (in 

addition to the ten regular Symposia on all topics 

relevant in offshore engineering) 

• The Rotterdam Offshore Boat Tour on Tuesday and 

the special Banquet in the Maritime Museum on 

Wednesday. 

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee 

and the rest of the OMAE 2011 team I wish you a 

very good conference! 

—Dr. ir. Bas Buchner 

Conference Chair, OMAE 2011 

President, MARIN (Maritime Research 

Institute Netherlands)

Welcome from the Technical Program Chair 

As the OMAE 2011 Technical Program Chair, I am 

proud of the rich and varied technical program for 

the 30 th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore 

and Arctic Engineering. 

You will have the chance over the next four days 

to choose from over 800 presentations of peerreviewed 

papers, representing the state-of-the-art 

in ocean, offshore, and arctic engineering. This is a 

record number, and it reflects the long-term growth 

of the OMAE series of conferences. ASME-IPTI 

has organized five short courses for the Saturday 

and Sunday preceding the conference. The Tuesday 

evening boat tour of the Rotterdam port will be a 

new addition to the usual OMAE schedule. As well, 

the local organizers have planned exciting technical 

tours on Friday, showcasing some impressive 

engineering accomplishments and capabilities of our 

host country, the Netherlands. Over 18 companies 

are conference sponsors, showcasing the value the 

offshore industry places on OMAE. The Outreach 

for Engineers Specialty Forum continues to focus 

on drawing students, who are the next generation, 

into the fold. Exciting social programs are planned 

for accompanying persons, showcasing the culture 

and history of our host country. The annual OMAE 

conference has become the international technical 

conference in ocean, offshore, and arctic engineering. 

The papers are organized into ten continuing 

symposia: 

1. Offshore Technology 

2. Structures, Safety and Reliability 

3. Materials Technology 

4. Pipeline and Riser Technology 

5. Ocean Space Utilization 

6. Ocean Engineering 

7. Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology 

8. CFD and VIV 

9. Ocean Renewable Energy 

10. Offshore Geotechnics 

There are three special symposia honoring the 

contributions to offshore research of prominent 

Dutch researchers: 

1. Jan Vugts Symposium on ‘Design Methodology of 

Offshore Structures’ 

2. Jo Pinkster Symposium on ‘Second Order Wave 

Drift Forces on Floating Structures’ 

3. Johan Wichers Symposium on ‘Mooring of 

Floating Structures in Waves’ 

Traditionally, each OMAE conference honors an 

outstanding academician or engineer who has made 

significant contributions to our profession. This 

year we have the opportunity to honor these three 

individuals who have made significant contributions 

during their careers. 

While many of the continuing symposia have 

existed for some years, several are relatively recent 

additions and reflect the intention of the OMAE 

conferences and the OOAE Division to maintain 

leadership in emerging areas. Ocean Renewable 

Energy (ORE) is one such symposium, which has 

85 papers and which typically hosts some of the 

best attended sessions. Ocean Space Utilization is 

continuing to grow to include Deepsea Mining and 

Aquaculture. 

No matter which symposia interest you, be 

assured that the papers therein represent the stateof-the-art 

in research and applications. The program 

and conference CD will be a valuable resource for 

your own work, whether in academics or in industry. 

I must issue a heartfelt thanks to all of the authors, 

symposia coordinators, session organizers and chairs, 

and reviewers who made this excellent technical 

program possible. And of course, I would like to 

congratulate the Local Organizing Committee, led by 

Bas Buchner, for the outstanding job they have done 

in organizing such a wonderful conference!

Welcome from the OOAE Division 

Welcome to the 30 th International Conference on 

Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 

2011). It is with great personal pleasure that I 

welcome all of the attendees this year to Rotterdam, 

the Netherlands. Exactly five years ago, when I 

chaired OMAE 2006 in Hamburg, I talked with Bas 

Buchner about having an OMAE Conference again 

in the Netherlands, and now, here we are and I even 

have the honor to open the Conference. 

The Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering 

Division of ASME features a wide range of social 

and technical issues, like environmental protection, 

education, HSE, energy supplies, environmental 

loading, hydrodynamic behavior, arctic engineering, 

materials selection, and structural strength. Aside 

from all oil and gas related topics which are 

still playing an important role, nowadays ocean 

renewable energies like waves, tides, currents 

and offshore wind have provided new and very 

interesting areas for scientists and engineers. 

The Conference Chair, Bas Buchner and his 

dynamic and enthusiastic team put together a 

very exciting program, starting with an interesting 

Technical Opening Session under the title ‘Going 

Deep!’ on the challenges of new activities offshore: 

floating wind, deep water salvage and deepsea 

mining. Special highlights of the social program are 

the Rotterdam Offshore Boat Tour on Tuesday and 

the special Banquet in the Maritime Museum on 

Wednesday. Every conference day will conclude with 

informal drinks where you can meet all your offshore 

colleagues and make plans for dinner, etc. 

Technical Chair Ron Riggs and the Symposium 

Coordinators have put together an outstanding 

program. This year, there are three specialty 

symposia in addition to our ten regular symposia. 

The specialty symposia are honoring Jan Vugts, Jo 

Pinkster and Johan Wichers, three worldwide, well 

known, outstanding offshore pioneers from the 

Netherlands. 

Thank you very much for joining us in Rotterdam 

and I look forward to meeting and exchanging ideas 

with you over the next four days.

The deeper the challenge, 

the further we go 

As a pioneer in offshore drilling systems and the first to explore beyond 2000 metres water depth, 

it’s no surprise that Shell is a leader in deepwater. Our innovative excellence continues to push the 

boundaries, from the world’s largest deepwater wells at Norway’s Ormen Lange to the world’s deepest 

drilling and production facility, Perdido, Gulf of Mexico. Deploying cost-effective solutions using 

a global team of experts and cutting-edge technologies, we’re doing more than digging 

deeper – we’re breaking new ground. Want to dig deeper?

Dr. Jan Vugts 


Special Symposia 


Jan H. Vugts Symposium on ‘Design Methodology of Offshore Structures’ 

Prof. Dr. ir. Jan H. Vugts has served a career of 

more than 40 years in science and industry. After 

graduating in 1963 as a naval architect, he was a 

researcher at the Ship Hydromechanics Laboratory 

in Delft with Professor Gerritsma, obtaining his 

Doctoral degree for research on hydrodynamic 

forces and ship motions in waves. In 1970, he joined 

the Offshore Engineering Department of Shell for a 

career in industry. Contrary to common practice at 

the time, he recognized the impact of the random 

dynamic environment on the behaviour of statically 

as well as dynamically responding marine structures, 

which necessitated accounting for the broad range 

of excitation frequencies and using a probabilistic 

instead of the usual deterministic approach. He 

retired from Shell in 1996 as Senior Offshore 

Engineering Consultant, having been involved with 

floating as well as bottom founded structures of all 

kinds. In 1992, he accepted a part-time Professorship 

in Offshore Technology at the Technical University 

of Delft, where besides his continued educational and 

research contributions he entered the field of offshore 

wind energy. 

During his entire career he operated on the 

interface of R&D and practical applications, 

developing and promoting the development of 

necessary expertise in combination with realistic 

design and analysis methods for marine structures 

in their physical environment. Subjects ranged inter 

alia from probabilistic workability assessments for 

floating equipment, to dynamic and fatigue analysis 

of deep water fixed structures and (re)assessment 

of existing offshore structures. In the 1970s, he 

developed and performed the first ever spectral 

fatigue analyses for a semi-submersible and the first 

two fixed steel structures for Shell in the central and 

northern North Sea. From the 1980s, he was further 

active on marine safety, particularly as the instigator 

of present-day site-specific assessments of jack-ups. 

From the start in 1991 of efforts under the 

auspices of ISO to produce international standards 

for the petroleum and natural gas industries, he 

has been the Dutch representative and a prominent 

member of Committee ISO/TC 67/SC 7. After 

retirement from Shell as well as from TU Delft he 

continued this activity making major contributions 

to the ISO 19900 series for offshore structures. 

He was awarded the Research Prize 1978 for 

Offshore Engineering of the Royal Institution of 

Engineers in the Netherlands and is an Honorary 

Member of its Offshore Engineering Department. 

In 2007, he received the ASCE OTC Hall of Fame 

Award for Pioneering Innovation and Lasting Impact 

of his 1976 OTC paper ‘Probabilistic fatigue analysis 

of fixed structures’. In 2009, he was one of three 

nominees for the Award of Excellence for personal 

achievements during an entire career from IRO, 

the Dutch Association of Suppliers in the Oil & Gas 

Industry.

Jo A. Pinkster Symposium on ‘Second Order Wave Drift Forces on Floating Bodies’ 

After his graduation in 1970 in Naval Architecture, 

Jo Pinkster joined MARIN, the Maritime Research 

Institute of the Netherlands. At MARIN he was 

responsible for many projects involving either model 

tests or computations or both, which were carried 

out for the international offshore industry. Many 

of these projects were concerned with mooring of 

floating production units in open sea. While working 

at MARIN, the pressure integration method for 

determining the mean and low-frequency second 

order wave drift forces on floating structures was 

developed. In 1980, he got his PhD on this topic. 

The subjects of the many JIPs at MARIN at that 

time were on wave drift forces on moored tankers 

in deep and shallow water as well as on semisubmersibles. 

Other research interests which resulted 

in publications included weathervaning DP, wavefeed-forward 

in DP and wave energy devices. As 

of 1990, he was appointed as full-time Professor 

Ship Hydromechanics at the Delft University of 

Technology. 

While at Delft University of Technology, he 

developed a new multi-body diffraction code, a code 

for passing vessel effects and a code for the behaviour 

Johan E.W Wichers Symposium on ‘Mooring of Floating Structures in Waves’ 

Johan Wichers received his MS degree in Coastal and 

Offshore Engineering in 1973 and his PhD in Applied 

Mathematics in 1988, both from the University of 

Technology of Delft. Johan Wichers started as Project 

Manager in the Offshore Department of MARIN in 

1973. From 1989 to 1998, he was the Manager of the 

Seakeeping and Offshore Project Department. Johan 

Wichers was initiator of the new basins of MARIN 

and as a result he was strongly involved in the design 

of the new facilities from 1993 to 1998. In 1998, he 

became Vice President of MARIN and managed the 

MARIN affiliation in Houston. 

The contribution of Johan Wichers to the fields 

of mooring of floating structures in wave, wind and 

current made a profound impact in the way the 

design of moorings systems were carried out. His 

of air-cushion supported floating structures in 

waves. The new diffraction code was extended to 

include time-domain input from non-linear wave 

propagation models, which were coupled to allow 

the prediction of passing vessel effects on moored 

vessels including long wave effects arising from the 

interaction between the passing vessel induced flow 

field and the port geometry. 

In 2006, he retired from the Delft University 

of Technology and since then he started Pinkster 

Marine Hydrodynamics (PMH) consultancy. 

Jo Pinkster has contributed to international 

co-operation in research by membership of 

committees of ITTC and ISSC. In the Netherlands, 

he served as Secretary to the Offshore Department 

and Chairman of the Marine Technology department 

of the Royal Institute of Engineers. 

In 2008, he was awarded the ASCE OTC Hall 

of Fame Award for Pioneering Innovation. He has 

published approximately 70 papers on subjects 

related to the behaviour of floating offshore 

structures in waves, dynamic positioning and (more 

recently) on the effects of passing vessels on moored 

ships. 

personal contributions included the development of 

the concept of wave drift damping which was found 

to be a crucial element in the assessment of the 

extreme loads in the mooring. He also pioneered in 

many studies on the viscous contributions induced 

by the low frequency motions. He was also mainly 

responsible for the development of the MARIN 

mooring programs for SPMs, jetty moorings and 

moored FPSOs. He published more than 60 papers 

on the topic of floating moored structures. 

Since 2006, he is President of WMooring, Inc., a 

consultancy office in Houston, Texas. In 2007, he was 

awarded the Fellowship of the SNAME and received 

in 2010 the ASCE OTC Hall of Fame Award for 

Pioneering Innovation and Lasting Impact for OTC 

Paper No. 2548, 1976.

Deep Sea Mining: From the Experimental to the Industrial Phase 

Jan Willem van Bloois, General Manager, IHC Deep Sea Dredging & Mining 

IHC Deep Sea Dredging & Mining (IHC DSDM, 

part of IHC Merwede) designs, builds and maintains 

high quality, remotely operated marine excavation 

and slurry transport systems. The largest technical 

challenge in this sector is to define the parameters 

for the excavation process for deep water areas 

(>2000m). However, the existing offshore industry 

can support the design process with know-how, for 

example, about riser technology. New to develop 

are the vertical ore transport systems (pumping 

technology). Lab tests, simulations (DEM) and 

CFD are important aspects in the development of 

the deep water mining installations, whereas DEM 

simulations are of particular importance in defining 

rock characteristics in relation to the excavation 

process. 

We’re deeply qualified!

Jan Willem has over 25 years experience 

performing various management functions within 

engineering and business development. Holding 

a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, 

technology has always been his passion. In his career, 

this has expressed itself in companies associated with 

high end technology like Fontijne Holland and IHC 

Merwede. At IHC Merwede, he has been responsible 

for the engineering and production of the first deep 

water dredging installations and the set up of a new 

global network of service and support activities. 

He started his current position in 2007 with the 

assignment of the development of the new market 

for the deep sea mining industry including new 

technology as an extension of the IHC Merwede’s 

product portfolio.

Floating Supports for Offshore Wind: Small Structures – Big Challenges 

Wim de Boom, Product Manager, SBM GustoMSC 

The market outlook for offshore wind farms on 

floating supports is very positive. However, large 

scale application of floating support structures 

requires careful planning based on offshore industry 

knowledge. System dynamics, mooring configuration 

and cable technology all have to be understood, while 

in the end the overall concept has to fit within tight 

commercial boundaries. 

Wim de Boom started his career in 1976 

with MARIN, the Maritime Research Institute 

Netherlands. As a project manager in the Offshore 

Section of MARIN, he was involved in many 

frontier developments in the offshore industry. In 

1986, he joined SBM Inc. in Monaco, dealing with 

Managing Innovation in Salvage: R&D in an Increasing Complex Environment 

Bert van der Velden, Manager, Innovation & Business Development, SMIT Salvage 

There are three main drivers for innovation in 

modern marine salvage. The first seeks greater 

efficiency in the performance of a salvage operation. 

The second one is public awareness for the necessity 

of a sustainable marine environment. The third 

(and perhaps the single most important stimulus) 

addresses new challenges in salvage, particularly 

those arising from the rapid growth of scale of 

(container) ship design and the prospects of ever 

larger and more complex vessels. This lecture reflects 

on these technical developments in the salvage 

industry related to the developments in the shipping, 

offshore and subsea industry. 

various types of mooring systems in SBM’s Concept 

Department. In 1990, he relocated to the Netherlands 

to GustoMSC, the Dutch operating company of 

the SBM Offshore Group. Since 2009, he has been 

responsible for product development at GustoMSC, 

and liaises with SBM Inc. in Monaco for the group’s 

interests in renewable energy, when it concerns 

Offshore Wind. 

Mr. De Boom has a Master’s degree in Civil 

Engineering from the Delft University of Technology. 

He currently chairs the Section Offshore Technology 

of KIVI NIRIA, the Royal Institute of Engineers in 

the Netherlands. 

As Manager, Innovation & Business Development 

at SMIT Salvage, Bert van der Velden is responsible 

for the development and implementation of 

innovative solutions in SMIT’s worldwide salvage 

operations and environmental care services to the 

industry. Prior to working for SMIT Salvage, he 

worked for more than ten years in various positions 

in the international port industry providing turn key 

container handling systems. Mr. van der Velden has a 

Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the 

Delft University of Technology.

that was at the birth of modern dredging. Ships 

currently under construction include a suction 

hopper dredger and a heavy lift vessel. 

The tour will then visit Kinderdijk, a UNESCO 

World Heritage Site with 19 windmills that date 

back to the 18th Century and were used for land 

reclamation and dewatering that turned the rough 

and wet peat bog of the Alblasserwaard polder into 

productive farmland.

Sightseeing Tours 

Rotterdam by Foot including Splashtours 


Time: 09:00 – 13:00 


Fee: €31,50 

Before we will start touring Rotterdam’s unique 

attraction, we will have a guided walking tour. 

Splashtours offers city tours ‘with a difference’ 

through Rotterdam. Touring in the unique 

amphibious bus is a truly unforgettable experience 

for all ages! In approximately 75 minutes we will take 

you to the city’s most special and beautiful places. 

Then comes the ‘splash’: a spectacular dive into the 

Meuse River. The bus seems to be transformed into a 

seaworthy vessel, continuing the journey over water 

along Rotterdam’s fabulous sky-line! 

Amsterdam Panoramic City Tour 


Time: 09:00 – 15:00 



Past and present, trade and leisure, religion and 

coffee shops, diamonds and beer, all flourish together 

in splendid Amsterdam! On this extensive bus 

excursion you will see all that Amsterdam has to offer 

you, from the historical monuments in the centre to 

the modern architecture from the 21st Century. A 

picture stop at a windmill and a visit to a diamond 

factory are included. We will see the Dam Square, the 

Flower Market, a flea market and other attractions. 

We will also visit the Rijksmuseum.

Royal the Hague and Delft 


Time: 09:00 – 13:00 


Fee: €48 

During this tour you will visit two cities which 

have both played a crucial role in the history of the 

Netherlands: The Hague and Delft. You will see some 

of the highlights of these cities like The Mauritshuis 

Museum in The Hague and the Porceleyne Fles, 

the only Delftware factory that remained in Delft. 

We start with a drive to The Hague for a visit to the 

Mauritshuis. This museum, which rises out of the 

water like a Venetian palace, houses an outstanding 

collection of paintings from the Golden Age. You will 

see paintings from the famous painters Rembrandt 

van Rijn, Frans Hals and Johannes Vermeer. 

Continue to Delft, the city where Vermeer lived and 

painted. Enjoy a walk in the beautiful old centre 

of town along the canals and many almshouses. 

Afterwards you will visit the Royal Dutch Delftware 

Manufactory De Porceleyne Fles. The factory 

was established in 1653 and is the last remaining 

Delftware factory from the 17 th Century. The world 

famous Royal Delftware is still entirely hand-painted 

according to centuries old tradition. 

Castles and River Vecht 


Time: 09:00 – 15:00 



This tour offers a charming drive along the romantic 

river Vecht, between Amsterdam and the City of 

Utrecht. Along this river many noblemen of the 

17 th Century constructed their country homes 

and estates. This area is part of the green heart of 

Holland, with narrow winding roads and agricultural 

farm land. A visit will be made to the Muiderslot. 

This medieval castle was originally built in the 

13 th Century for Count Floris V. Nowadays the 

Muiderslot is used as a museum. Continue through 

the Lake District of Loosdrecht to the fortified 

town of Naarden, shaped like a star with five points, 

miraculously preserved despite a history of bloody 

sieges.

OMAE 2012 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, 10-15 June, 2012. 

With recent discoveries of Pre-Salt reservoirs in deepwater offshore 

Brazil, the country proven reserve has doubled so far. Prospects of 

substantial amount of oil and gas in the Pre-Salt region include an 

offshore area of 800Km by 200Km in the Brazilian economic exclusive 

offshore zone. 

A series of supply companies are establishing offices, manufacture facilities 

and research centers in Brazil in order to benefit from and contribute to the 

expansion of the oil and gas industry to the new Pre-Salt frontier.

OMAE 2012 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, having this challenging 

and exciting scenario as a background. Industry and academia will 

have an opportunity to discuss the technical progress in the field of 

ocean, offshore and arctic engineering in recent years and be aware 

of the new challenges of the near future. 

The Conference has 10 traditional Symposia: 

1. Offshore Technology, 

2. Structures, Safety and Reliability, 

3. Materials Technology, 

4. Pipeline and Riser Technology, 

5. Ocean Space Utilization, 

6. Ocean Engineering, 

7. Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology, 

8. CFD and VIV, 

9. Ocean Renewable Energy and 

10.Offshore Geotechnics. 

In addition, two special events will be organized by: the Pre-Salt 

Workshop: Challenges and Opportunities and the Special 

Symposium in honor of Professor Ronald W. Yeung 

for his longterm 

contributions to the field of Offshore Hydrodynamics. 

Participants of OMAE 2012 will also be able to enjoy the city of Rio de 

Janeiro that will host two major world sport events: The FIFA Football 

World Championship in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016.
