| Summary: | Abstract- Following a few catastrophic accidents involving
mobile offshore drilling platforms, various studies were carried
out to investigate the adequacy of stability criteria applied to
offshore mobile platforms which was derived on an empirical
basis considering service experience accumulated for ships over many years. In this study, a twin hulled semi-submersible model sea-keeping performance was studied successfully in the wave tank for regular and irregular waves in sea, quartering and beam orientations. Results showed that the model RAOs follow the same tendency for regular and irregular wave.
