Melissa Hertel is a Senior Naval Architect at Crowley Engineering Services. Melissa specializes in project management and engineering innovation and is currently developing simulation tools and techniques to model marine transportation systems to install offshore wind farms.
This work builds on Melissa’s previous experience as a Project Manager and Lead Project Engineer for Mobil Shipping and Transportation (MOSAT) developing software and performing simulation studies of transportation systems (production facility and storage, loading harbor, fleet of ships, receiving harbor, storage and user) with random events (high wind/waves, low visibility, proximity of marine cyclones or icebergs, plant breakdowns) and other restrictions (vessel drydockings, daylight maneuvering in ports, production or demand schedules).
Ms. Hertel has written several papers on simulation.
When not tackling new engineering challenges, Melissa enjoys traveling and bicycling.
