Passive heave compensation

ID: passive-heave-compensation

Passive heave compensation is a technique used primarily in offshore engineering and marine operations to mitigate the effects of wave-induced movements on floating structures, such as drilling rigs or offshore platforms. The primary goal is to maintain a stable operational environment for activities like drilling or servicing under challenging sea conditions. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Heave Motion**: This refers to the vertical movement of a floating structure caused by waves.
