Offshore Loading and Discharge in Heavy Marine Transport

Dry transporting large heavy floating structures has been an important development in the innovative history of Heavy Marine Transport. This is done by carrying these type of cargoes on the deck of Heavy Transport Vessels. Loading and discharge is preformed by submerging the transport vessel, and positioning the cargo above the deck using tugger...

Loads on fender structures and dolphins by sailing ships

Fender structures and dolphins form an important part of the navigable canal. They have many functions: they must be able to guide and slow down ships, they must protect structures aft of ships against impacts from ships, and must protect ships from these structures. In addition, they must act as berthing or waiting places for ships. Fender...

Ship berthing to a vertical quay-wall: Fender forces and ship motion

In this report a mathematical model is formulated which is sufficiently accurate to describe the typical behaviour of a ship berthing to a vertical quay-wall fitted with fenders as well as to determine the response of the fenders themselves. In order to achieve this a three-dimensional set of governing equations is drawn up by which the lateral...

The berthing ship problem: Forces on berthing structures from moving ships

In this report a mathematical model is formulated which is sufficiently accurate to describe quantitatively and qualitatively the behaviour of a ship berthing to a structure equipped with fenders as well as to determine the response of the fenders themselves. In order to achieve this a set of equations is drawn up by which the (coupled)...
