Wave and current loads are calculated on the legs below the still water level and in the splash zone. The program accounts for wind loading on exposed sections of legs in the air gap and above the hull, as well as on the hull and superstructure, including the crane. The purpose of STA LIFTBOAT is to calculate the structural response and pad reactions of liftboats in the elevated mode, subject to environmental and gravity loads.


STA LIFTBOAT is a software package used by designers and also by the US Coast Guard for evaluating liftboat design submissions. STA LIFTBOAT – Dynamic Analysis of Elevated and Afloat Conditions The SEWOPS, shown above, is the preliminary liftboat design (2000) of a modified Irish Sea Pioneer (designed by STA) with a 500 ton sheerlegs crane.
