Huang Hai Tao


After graduating from SJTU, Mr. Huang Hai Tao was assigned to Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Re-search Institute, a famous marine consultant company in China. He has participated in the design of morethan twenty ships, went through many projects from proposal design, bid document to �nal delivery of theship, and served as project engineer for several ships. He has carried out various naval architectural calcu-lations (such as hydrostatic calculation, stability calculation, resistance & propulsion calculation, structuralstrength calculation) during his stint with SJTU. He has also been involved in launch, inclination test, seatrial, mooring tests.

In 1995, Mr. Huang Hai Tao joined Keppel FELS, where he was engaged in structural design & analysisfor o�shore platforms and ships. He has performed a wide variety of structural design and analysis usingStruCAD*3D, such as grillage, truss, equipment platform and foundation. He has also carried out the FEManalysis for the SAGA FPSO midship using SESAM for SAGA FPSO. He also has extensive experience incarrying out lifting analysis.

He joined Pelmatic NEG Pte Ltd, in 1997 and was involved in two conversion design of FSO and FPSO. Healso carried out the FEM analysis for the mooring turret of Ruby FPSO.

He joined Brown & Root in June 1999. He was attached to a oatover specialist from Brown & RootUK o�ce to assist in hydrodynamic analysis for BP Vietnam Lan Tay Platform. He has gained valuableexperience from this project. He is capable of performing the design calculations for barge transportationanalysis, mooring analysis, oatover analysis and many other hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analyses. Hehas also performed the structural analysis for Dong Hae jackets and topsides.

He joined Tero Marine (S) Pte Ltd in April 2001. He has been involved in structural analysis work of themooring systems and sea-fastening design work for heavy cargo transportation. He is very well conversantwith FEM analysis using di�erent software and uses STRUCAD-3D and STARDYNE for the work undertaken by Tero Marine.
