- Vessel-to-Vessel crew transfer at sea is a potentially hazardous operation, with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency releasing Guidance to Mariners on this topic in 2016. Improved modelling and simulation of the forces occurring on the smaller vessel when it is in proximity to the larger vessel, can lead researchers into recommending improved methods of transfer, reducing the risk to personnel involved. This work compares a numerical method to experimental data and evidences good agreement. The paper highlights the impact that non-central placement within a wave tank can have which has previously been unreported in the literature.
