Manoeuvring simulation studies in various rivers in Germany: approach to the Heidelberg Lock; feasibility depending on the vessels’ size/power in relation to the current and water level; analysis of the influence of a cross-current on inland navigation vessels; behaviour of conventional boats and convoys of barges being pushed.
The vertical dimensions in manoeuvring areas can be precisely calculated using probabilistic design, considering the main variables in detail, beyond the general deterministic formula: vessel type and size, access draughts, tidal level and depth, course and speed (squat), direction-period-wave height. In this way, access draughts to the Exterior Port at A Coruña (Spain), the ports…
Extensive experience in nautical studies for the configuration of an FSRU regasification vessel and an LNG storage vessel, due to taking part in 42 of the 73 international LNG terminals studied. The special features of this type of terminal demand specialist analysis of manoeuvring, mooring, traffic and risks, where Siport21 has used a cutting edge…
