Potential Benefits of Including Motion Sickness Predictions in an Offshore Wind Operational Planning Tool
conference paper
Offshore wind energy plays an important role in the transition to sustainable energy. However, it also poses significant operational challenges. Motion sickness among technicians onboard crew transfer
vessels (CTVs) can impair safety, productivity, and operational efficiency. Existing motion-sickness models like the Motion Sickness Incidence (MSI) only quantify the probability of vomiting, neglecting
other symptoms like nausea and dizziness. This study applies the Motion Illness Symptoms Classification (MISC) scale, addressing these broader symptoms in conjunction with a vessel motion model to simulate the motions during transit. This integration aims to improve decision-making in offshore wind operational planning.
