Global warming impacts every corner of human life. Maritime transportation and shipbuilding industries are no exception. Recent counteraction in maritime industries is accelerating to meet the zero emission by 2050. Various alternative energy sources have been studied, and recent developments in Europe show that the windship, as a proven technology, can be an attractive candidate to solve the problem. In this paper, as the alternative transportation option, to infer the performances of modern windships, the non-dimensional ratios of past tall ships and windships are studied and reviewed. In addition, the ratios are compared to estimate the position of current and future windships under consideration. It is found that regarding the ratio distributions, the current windships being planned can be either wind-assisted propulsion ships or less fully functional windships than the past tall ships.

The tall and slender main crane is generally installed on the upper deck to load and unload the equipment or something heavy in the drilling rig or the ship. So the natural frequency of the crane equipment is very low, therefore, there is some possibility of excessive vibration at the emergency state due to sudden stop during the crane operation. This study describes a fatigue assessment due to heavy vibration during brake test of sudden stop because it is necessary the safety of crane is estimated against the heavy vibration. In order to find out the applied force, the vibration measurement and analysis have been performed.

The impact of a single wave generated by a dam break with a tall structure is modeled with a three-dimensional version of the Moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method. The particle method is more feasible and effective than methods based on grid connection problems involving violent free surface motions. In the present study, the Tsunami impact load and the change of longitudinal velocity component around the structure, which are obtained from the numerical simulation, are compared to those from experiments.
