Full scale trials were conduced on the Stable Semi-Submerged Platform (SSP) known as the SSP Kaimalino, a Small Water Plane Twin Hull (SWATH) with an overall length of 87.8 ft (26.76m) and displacement of 193 tons (196 MTSW). Trials were conducted in a Sea State 4 at various headings and speeds. A helicopter was used to obtain motion and still photographs with an oceangoing tug running alongside for comparison purposes. Measurements were made of craft motions and accelerations as well as pressures on the craft structure due to wave impacting. (Author)
