Huang Hai Tao

After graduating from SJTU, Mr. Huang Hai Tao was assigned to Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute, a famous marine consultant company in China. He has participated in the design of more
than twenty ships, went through many projects from proposal design, bid document to final delivery of the
ship, and served as project engineer for several ships. He has carried out various naval architectural calculations (such as hydrostatic calculation, stability calculation, resistance & propulsion calculation, structural
strength calculation) during his stint with SJTU. He has also been involved in launch, inclination test, sea
trial, mooring tests.
In 1995, Mr. Huang Hai Tao joined Keppel FELS, where he was engaged in structural design & analysis
for offshore platforms and ships. He has performed a wide variety of structural design and analysis using
StruCAD*3D, such as grillage, truss, equipment platform and foundation. He has also carried out the FEM
analysis for the SAGA FPSO midship using SESAM for SAGA FPSO. He also has extensive experience in
carrying out lifting analysis.
He joined Pelmatic NEG Pte Ltd, in 1997 and was involved in two conversion design of FSO and FPSO. He
also carried out the FEM analysis for the mooring turret of Ruby FPSO.
He joined Brown & Root in June 1999. He was attached to a floatover specialist from Brown & Root
UK office to assist in hydrodynamic analysis for BP Vietnam Lan Tay Platform. He has gained valuable
experience from this project. He is capable of performing the design calculations for barge transportation
analysis, mooring analysis, floatover analysis and many other hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analyses. He
has 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 the
mooring systems and sea-fastening design work for heavy cargo transportation. He is very well conversant
with FEM analysis using different software and uses STRUCAD-3D and STARDYNE for the work under
taken by Tero Marine. He is also familiar with the relevant rules and codes for structural design work.
