Improve and optimize the management of Diving Support Vessel (DSV) during design, construction, and operation.

Abstract

This thesis mainly focuses on the design and operational issues of a saturation diving support vessel (DSV). First, make the right investment decisions from the market survey of the saturation diving operation and the market needs, referring to the worldwide saturation diving support vessels design and specification. In DSV design stage, design a more reasonable human, machine and organizational interface by fully considering the human factors, organizational factors and the actual operation demands of saturation diving teams, especially the safety of saturation divers in a hyperbaric environment. During construction, how to execute the project management, monitor safety, cost and schedule the more effective. In the operational phase, choose the suitable maintenance strategies for the vessels and saturation diving equipment. Monitor the running status in order to ensure the sustainability, availability, high performance, and safety for potential improvement in economic performance and safety.
