The liquid storage tanks of a ship-shaped offshore installation are periodically loaded and unloaded, and the tanks are in motion. Consequently, sloshing occurs in the tanks owing to resonance between the natural sloshing period of a partially filled liquid tank and the roll or pitch period of the offshore installation itself. Notably, a larger and wider tank has a longer natural period, which increases the risk of sloshing impacts that may result in structural damage. Increased non-impact pressures may also be created by sloshing. Thus, engineering approaches are required to mitigate the effects of sloshing.
