Ever since man has taken vessels onto the seas, mariners have reported encounters with monstrous waves that seem to arise out of nowhere from an otherwise average sea state. On his third voyage to the New World in 1498, Christopher Columbus recorded in his logbook that a giant wave lifted up his vessels as they transited the waterway between the Paria Peninsula of Venezuela and the island of Trinidad, a waterway he then named Bocas del Dragón (the Mouths of the Dragon). In 1853…

Seakeeping refers to motions of a vessel in waves, but sea-kindliness is a characteristic sought after in most vessels. A sea-kindly vessel is easy on its crew and easy on its gear. Trying to define sea-kindly is difficult. The deep sea mariner may use qualitative descriptions such as "an easy roll" or "a wet boat," but the vessel designer must look for quantitative descriptions. There are six degrees of motion in a vessel, three are linear: surge, heave, and sway; three are rotational: pitch, roll, and yaw. Each of these degrees of motion has associated values of amplitude, velocity, and acceleration. A vessel in a beam sea can be rolling up to 30 degrees (amplitude) and the associated acceleration could be 0.5 g or 1 g.

Resurgence Software, Inc., and maintenance optimization software for the maritime industry, announced today an agreement to provide its Wave Equipment Optimization System and related support services to Northrop Grumman Ship Systems (NGSS). This comprehensive license agreement, with the Integrated Logistics Support group of NGSS' Full Service Operations, includes installation and use of the Wave system by NGSS along with their subcontractors during the construction phase of U.S. Navy ships being built in the company's LPD 17 Program. The Wave system complies with the military's requirement for a Failure and Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) under MIL-STD-2155. This military standard is part of the general requirements and specific tasks for reliability programs.

Resurgence Software, Inc. said that V.Ships Group, Ltd. has agreed to pilot the Wave Equipment Optimization System for a portion of its fleet. The agreement, which covers both software and services, will allow V.Ships to do analysis on a portion of its technically managed vessels. The pilot will require the integration with planned maintenance systems including V.Ships' own ShipSure Ship Maintainer system. The Wave system will be used to identify maintenance trends that are not easily identifiable without Wave software's unique set of analysis tools. Increased reliability and efficiency and reduced maintenance costs are not mutually exclusive propositions.

Resurgence Software, Inc. announced that London Ship Managers, Ltd. (LSM) has implemented its Wave Software System in a portion of its fleet. This agreement is a direct result of the Resurgence Software joint marketing alliance with Lloyd's Register, and marks LSM's continued commitment to improving operational efficiency and customer service through the strategic use of technology. "The adoption of our system by LSM demonstrates the continued acceptance of equipment reliability software as a maritime industry standard, and is a further validation of our relationship with Lloyd's Register," said Tom Bubrig, president of Resurgence Software.
