DETERMINATION OF REGRESSION FORMULAS FOR MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF PLATFORM SUPPLY VESSELS BASED ON VESSEL REGISTRATION DATA

Abstract

PSV - Platform Supply Vessel, is a ship belonging to the group of OSVs (Offshore Service Vessels/ Offshore Support Vessels). A platform supply vessel is a ship specially designed to supply offshore oil and gas platforms. The primary function for most of these vessels is logistic support and transportation of goods, tools, equipment and personnel to and from offshore oil platforms and other offshore structures. Therefore, the design of PSV requires a specialized reference data source.

In the article, the authors publish the results of data analysis showing the relationship between the main parameters of PSV ships by regression method, such as: Tonnage, dimensions and main engine power. Regression functions obtained can be used as a reference for the design or comparison and evaluation of PSV ships.
