Dynamic Analysis and Optimization of a 6-DOF Shipborne Gantry Crane for Ship-to-Ship Cargo Transfer
Hoisting and Conveying Equipment and TechnologiesWith growing demand for offshore cargo transfer, ship-to-ship (STS) transfer has become an important supplement to port based transfer modes. Shipborne STS transfer can overcome the limitations imposed by port geographic locations. However, shipborne STS transfer equipment faces several challenges including random ship motions caused by waves. The majority of published papers on shipborne cranes focus on slewing cranes [1,2]. Meanwhile, gantry cranes achieve higher efficiency in container transportation. Li [3] developed accurate three-dimensional trajectory tracking and anti-sway control strategies for shipborne gantry cranes operating in an open-sea environment. However, the wave compensation method relies on a wire rope hoisting system, resulting in limited compensation accuracy.
