Summary
Covers weather windows and duration statistics for marine operations as well as some issues related to multibody dynamics for lifting operations from a floating vessel. The impact load during mating operations is illustrated through an example and the statistics for impacts and snatch loads during mating operations are discussed. Mathieu instability is discussed in the context of a load hanging from a moving crane. The focus is on simple approaches to improve the understanding of the main features of the operations considered.
