This report documents a review of concepts for interconnection of a trailer and the SLICE vessel. The long-term goal is to develop a safe method of attaching a trailer to the SLICE vessel for swift and effective transport of personnel and cargo. The main objective of this particular work is to present a list of viable concepts for the SLICE/trailer connection and to identify risk mitigation measures. A summary of viable concepts found from a review of the literature is presented along with a brief discussion of the dynamics of a flexibly connected 2-Module floating system. Proper quantification of the connection's influence on the dynamic response is imperative if the SLICE/ trailer system operation is to be controlled effectively.
