Relative Vessel-to-Vessel Motion Compensation (VVMC) between two floating vessels can be considered an extension of existing Active Heave Compensation (AHC), which is current state-of-the-art in the offshore industry. In this paper, the experimental results from a small-scale experimental setup of a VVMC scenario are presented. The work focuses on the kinematics related to VVMC, sensor accuracy of Motion Reference Units (MRUs), and the communication delay related to wireless transmission of MRU data between two floating vessels. The accuracies of the MRU sensors are good and verified to be less than 5% of the heave amplitude. The wireless communication link had a typical time-delay of 8ms. The presented work demonstrates the 3D-kinematics related to VVMC using homogeneous transformations, and the experimental results show that wireless transmission of MRU data is a viable solution for offshore VVMC scenarios.
