Ship and Quay Wall Mooring System Capability Evaluation

Vytautas Paulauskas    

Resumen

Ship mooring in adverse conditions is very important for ports and terminals, which work with big ships and ships with big wind surface areas what as a result create high hydrodynamic and aerodynamic forces on a ship and quay wall mooring systems. Traditional ship mooring systems are safe, but quay wall mooring systems sometimes are not capable enough depending on inertia and other acting forces, therefore, new solutions for increasing quay wall mooring system capability should be found. The article presents the analysis of complicated ship mooring situations and methods, which can assist to calculate loads, acting on quay wall mooring systems in complicated conditions; the mathematical basis of calculations of ship mooring in complicated conditions and practical recommendations. The suggested methods can be used in many ports and terminals for practical application.

The berthing of an ultra large ship is always a difficult issue and becomes yet more complex when vessels must be handled in restricted manoeuvring areas of limited depth, exposed to a forceful crosswind, or manoeuvring in a strong current, or all three.... ver más
