I have a vertical vessel which will be operating on a barge, this is a huge vessel (102" OD x 732" overall dims including the skirt), what is the movement impact on the vessel thks and what procedure or formulas i have to consider to add that extra load on thks calc?
Thanks.
 
the vessel weight is 52000 lb aprox. and the barge dims is 32' x 131'
 
I believe this is basic engineering. If you can't handle it - call in some help.
 
You forgot to mention the depth of the barge,the weight of the tank when it is full of what???;if sloshing of the content is expected; whether it is a single or double rake barge; whether the barge is to be towed out to sea or anchored on a river bank or lake dock with a full tank; whether the waterway will freeze whereby ice will build up on the barge; and wind and winter conditions. Do you see where I am leading to when such a vague question such as yours is being asked.
