Background

• MARINTEK (USA) Inc. was established as a
  Marketing office in 1999 and has remained so
  until 2005. At which time the extensive level of
  activity lead to the decision to change the mode
  of operation to expand our services to offer high
  level consulting services locally. The first
  local employees were hired in 2005 and
  subsequently we have added several new faces.
  With the continuing growth in the market we
  intend to expand further to meet those needs.

Areas of Expertise

• Hydrodynamics We offer a complete range of
  services related to ringing, springing, green
  seas, sloshing, sea-keeping, positioning and VIV,
  and effects of these phenomena on structures. We
  also offer services related to extreme loads and
  model and simulate marine operations.
• Structural Engineering We offer most types of
  structural analysis of marine systems. Our tools
  have been developed with the aim of providing
  designers an engineers with reliable results for
  all load conditions.
• Operations Technology Operations and
  maintenance philosophies, subsequent strategy
  development, and the development and
  implementation of related methods and tools are
  part of MARINTEK services that are now being made
  available to clients in the USA.

Our Tools

• BFLEX Program for calculation of stress and
  displacement, fatigue and wear analysis of wall
  components of flexible pipes subjected to
  bending, torsion, tension and internal and
  external pressure. Detailed cross-sectional
  analysis of tensile and pressure armour (Zeta,
  Theta, C-clip profiles).

• UFLEX Program for calculation of stresses in
  complex umbilicals cross-sections subjected to
  bending, torsion, tension, internal and external
  pressure and external contact forces.

7

• SIMLA Newly developed computer tool for analysis
  of offshore pipelines in deep waters and rough
  environments. Currently available functionality
  includes pipe laying an inspection of free spans.
  This toll was developed to ensure feasibility of
  Ormen Lange field development.

• SIMO This software package was developed for
  non-linear motions and station keeping analysis
  of multi-body systems. SIMO is used for
  simulations of complex marine operations such as
  installations of platforms and subsea
  installations, heavy lifts, tandem lifts,
  off-loading, up-ending and various types of
  mooring analysis, to mention just a few of the
  application areas. SIMO is also part of SESAM.

8

• MIMOSA Program fro analyzing vessel mooring
  systems. MIMOSA offers a variety of options such
  as calculation of vessels wave frequency and low
  frequency motions and mooring ling tensions. It
  satisfies the requirements of the Norwegian
  Maritime Directorate and the American Petroleum
  Institute. MIMOSA is also a part of the SESAM
  package.

9

• MOPSIM This real-time simulator for complex
  marine operations is based on RIFLEX and SIMO.
• SIMVIS This is a program for visualization of
  complex marine operations analyzed by SIMO.
  Areas of application include the detection of
  modeling errors, planning of marine operations,
  HAZOP of marine operations and documentation of
  proposed operations.
