Abstract: An S-lay crane barge, OOC 201, has been built for pipe laying in deepwater oil/
gas fi elds in the South China Sea. It is due to missioned by the end of the year 2010. A special
lifting system is developed to meet the challenge that installing deepwater risers from an S-lay barge is
diffi cult and has not been achieved. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the model test on such
an innovative system, which has to be done before fi eld application. By applying the similarity theory,
the movement of the S-lay barge is simulated through a six degrees-of-freedom motion platform, and a
truncated model riser is utilized for the model testing. The displacement and force boundar
