Ship-Moorings
It is a sophisticated computer program designed to simulate the dynamic behaviour of single or multiple floating bodies moored to fixed structures (quays, jetties) as well as floating structures (single point or spread mooring systems, pontoons) under the influence of wind, waves, and currents.
It is a fully dynamic, 6-degree-of-freedom, time-domain, and nonlinear model (real deformation curves of mooring lines, catenaries, and fenders). It stands out for its versatility:
- Deep and shallow waters
- Vertical and pile-supported piers
- Anchored vessels, single-point mooring buoys, MBM, spread systems, and ship-to-ship configurations
- Floating structures other than conventional vessels
Developed by: Alkyon-Arcadis, Hydraulic Consultancy & Research (The Netherlands)
Since early 2024, following the successful transfer of ownership from ARCADIS, Siport21 has taken full control of this advanced simulation tool which allow our their engineers to improve the software as well as to modify and create new numerical models of vessels.

Optimoor
OPTIMOOR is proven as an essential tool for vessel and port operations personnel, especially when they have to undertake assessments to meet the requirements of the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) and satisfy OPA-90 legislation.
Developed by: TTI (United Kingdom)

Aqwa
The aim of this software is the analysis of mooring conditions of a ship or any floating structure, either in operating or berthing conditions.
The results obtained by the software allows to gauge the movements and forces of the ship, mooring lines and fenders under a meteorological set. The main application is the design and optimization of the mooring system.
Developed by: ANSYS (EEUU)

Ropes
Siport21 is the only participant company in the international Joint Industry Project that has developed this program. The purpose of the model is to deeply analyse the variables that leads the “Passing Ship” phenomena.
Developed by: PMH BV (Pinkster Marine Hydrodynamics BV, The Netherlands)
