Abstract

In estimating and managing weight growth during concept, design and fabrication phases for offshore energy floating production platforms and vessels, two similar but different methodologies for representing weight nomenclature have arisen thus leading to confusion and turmoil within the weight control discipline. This paper delves into the background and origins of these weight control methodologies and seeks to open the discussion on the differing nomenclatures found within the weight control function. This will be done by giving some examples of weight control terminology with multiple definitions and proposing a new concept of weight nomenclature based on the stages and states of weight development.
