1 INTRODUCTION

The sea trials have been performed on board of REGAL.

The measurements were performed on 10-07-2015 in the Black sea.

The average water depth was 2000.0 m with an average wind speed of 6.3 m/s. The average
wave height was 0.8 m with a period of 4.0 sec. The weather conditions during the trials were
judged to be good, with respect to ideal weather conditions.

This report gives an overview of the measurements carried out during the speed trials. The
analysis of the measurements and the corrections to arrive at the specified contract service
conditions are described and finally, some conclusions are drawn.

Throughout this report SI units are used unless indicated otherwise.

This report has been created with STAIMO version 2.3.0.

4 ANALYSIS OF SPEED TRIAL RESULTS

4.1 Introduction
The analysis is performed in four steps:
1. Correct the measured speed/power data towards ideal trial weather conditions.
2. Conversion from the trial loading condition towards the trial condition according to the
contract.
3. Conversion from the ideal trial condition towards the contract loading/weather
condition.
4. Conversion with the specified sea margin towards the agreed service condition.

In order to determine the performance under ideal weather conditions, corrections have been
applied to each individual run. To correct the individual results for their relative wind, first for
each set of runs the correct true wind speed and direction is determined. After the individual
corrections are made, the weighted true wind average for each set of runs is taken according
to Pascal's Triangle. Based on this weighted true wind average, the run’s relative wind vector
is calculated.
Measurements with a too low engine power setting are not taken into account for the ideal trial
curve.
The effect of current is eliminated by averaging the measured speeds with the ‘iterative’
method.

To determine the achieved speed and RPM values at contract service conditions, the service
power and RPM curve are intersected with the contract power of 1600 kW, MCR power of
2700 kW and NCR power of 1600 kW on the basis of a least square approximations.

Detailed descriptions concerning the theory behind all corrections are given in “ITTC
Guidelines 2014” and in “ISO 15016; 2015”.

4.3 Corrections summary

In order to compare the speed trial results with the contract specifications, corrections must be
applied for the weather conditions during the trials.

The measurements are corrected using the following methods:

Power corrections:
Temperature method: ITTC/ISO conventions
Density method: ITTC conventions
Displacement method: Admiralty coefficient (ITTC/ISO).
The difference between the contract trial displacement and

actual trial displacement is within the limit of 2% displacement.

The displacement used for the calculations is 12754 m^3.

The corrections are performed according the procedure described in “ITTC Guidelines

below 5 % MCR will be discarded which is not in accordance with “ITTC Guidelines 2014/ISO

The contract service curve is intersected with the contract power of 1600 [kW]. A double
quadratic interpolation procedure through the points is used to determine a service speed of
11.63 kts at 92.8 RPM with 0% sea margin at a Ballast contract loading condition, a true wind
speed of 0.0 m/s, a significant wave height of 0.00 m and a significant wave period of 0.0 s.

At a MCR power of 2700 kW a speed is found of 13.22 kts at 107.5 RPM.

At a NCR power of 1600 kW a speed is found of 11.63 kts at 92.8 RPM.

The rotation rate at NCR without sea margin is 92.8 and the contract rotation rate at NCR was
89.0 RPM.

Therefore the light running margin is 4.22%.

6 CONCLUSIONS FOR CONTRACT

Based on the speed trial the following conclusions can be drawn:

 The speed trials were performed in good weather.

 A service curve is determined on the basis of the speed trials:
- Corrected for deviations from ideal trial weather conditions;
- Taking into account the environmental conditions of a true wind speed of 0.0 m/s, a
significant wave height of 0.00 m and a significant wave period of 0.0 s.
- Using a sea margin of 0%
The theoretical background for all corrections is described in “ITTC Guidelines 2014”.
 The achieved speed at the agreed contractual service condition using the service curve is
11.63 kts at 1600 kW and 92.8 RPM.
 To achieve the contract speed of 11.00 kts, a total shaft power of 1292 kW is required.
 Speed at MCR using the service curve is 13.22 kts at 2700 kW and 107.5 RPM.
 Speed at NCR using the service curve is 11.63 kts at 1600 kW and 92.8 RPM.

The light running margin is 4.22%.
