TL;DR: The application of extreme wave data in the design and operation of floating vessels is discussed and the concept is defined in this article, where the authors suggest that the design of a floating vessel should be based on extreme loads and responses rather than just wave heights.
Abstract: The application of extreme wave data in the design and operation of floating vessels is discussed and the concept is defined. Sources of extreme wave data and its possible application as input to vessel performance assessment are evaluated and it is suggested that the design and operation of floating vessels should be based on extreme loads and responses rather than just wave heights. Several techniques available are cited and illustrations of typical representations for such data are shown. A technique referred to as an equivalent wave approach is discussed as a combination of the extreme wave and load approaches.
