OCTOPUS Office 6 is a hydrodynamic analysis program for calculation of seakeeping characteristics for ships and other floating structures, with or without forward speed. OCTOPUS Office 6 has an intuitive user interface, which provides the best technical solutions in ship hydrodynamics and improves the efficiency of your engineers.

The hydrodynamical analysis is carried out using:
  • 3D-radiation/diffraction theory and
  • 2D-strip theory
for calculating of the frequency dependent added mass, damping and wave forces... (read more)
OCTOPUS OnBoard is an advanced decision support system for operation of ships and other floating structures in waves. Information obtained from the ships hydrodynamics, weather forecasts, measured wave conditions, loading condition, speed and course is used for:
  • immediate decision support (heading and speed control)
  • midterm decision support (response based route planning)
  • scenario simulation
The profitability of the vessel can be improved by obtaining a higher schedule accuracy and increased safety. Responses of interest are displayed on a monitor on the bridge... (read more)
