In the sea-floating logistics port called mobile harbor a crane system with the different structure from the conventional above-ground container crane is installed. And, the dynamic stability of whole mobile harbor by the wave excitation is definitely affected by the crane positioned at the top. This paper is concerned with the dynamic rolling analysis of the mobile harbor subject to sea state 3 wave excitation, for which two-step analysis procedure composed of theoretical and numerical approaches is employed. First, the rigid rolling of mobile harbor is obtained according to the linear wave theory. And then, the dynamic rolling response of the flexible crane system caused by the rolling excitation of mobile harbor is analyzed by finite element analysis. The coupled interaction effect between the sea wave and the mobile harbor is taken into consideration by the added mass technique.

This study examines the behaviors and properties of discharged liquid CO₂ from a long elastic pipe moving with a vessel for the oceanic CO₂ sequestration by considering pipe dynamics and vessel motions. The coupled vessel-pipe dynamic analysis for a typical configuration is done in the frequency and time domain using the ORCAFLEX program. The system's characteristics, such as vessel RAOs and pipe-axial-velocity transfer function, are identified by applying a broadband white noise wave spectrum to the vessel-pipe dynamic system. The frequency shift of the vessel's RAO due to the encounter-frequency effect is also investigated through the system identification method. Additionally, the time histories of the tip-of-pipe velocities, along with the corresponding discharged droplet size and Weber numbers, are generated for two different sea states. The comparison between the stiff non-oscillating pipe with the flexible oscillating pipe shows the effect of the vessel and pipe dynamics to the discharged CO₂ droplet size and Weber number. The pipe's axial-mode resonance is the leading cause of the fluctuation of the discharged CO₂ properties. The significant variation of the discharged CO₂ properties observed in this study shows the importance of considering the vessel-pipe motions when designing oceanic CO₂ sequestration strategy, including suitable sequestration locations, discharge rate, towing speed, and sea states.
