Sea Trial Analysis: STA

  • Sea Trial Analysis (STA) JIP was initiated in 2002 by Shell, P&O/Nedlloyd, Maersk and MARIN to develop a common methodology for speed trials.

  • More than 30 participants including major shipyards, ship owners and classification societies participated in STA

    The JIP which was completed in 2006 resulted in:

    • Recommended Practice for Speed Trials

    • Recommended Analysis for Speed Trials

    • STAIMO - speed trial analysis and reporting software.

  • The participants in the STA-JIP decided to continue as STA-Group for the exchange of speed trial experiences and to guide further developments. IRS has joined this group in the year 2013.
