Abstract
When a ship is berthing on the pier using a mooring rope, excessive ship speeds may cause accidents where mooring rope is cut off. In order to prevent the mooring rope from breaking, there is need to know the approach speed limit of the ship. The purpose of this study is to estimate the berthing speed limit of a ship to prevent mooring fracture. Focus will be made to when the speed of the ship is unknown. In this study, we propose a method and procedure for estimating the berthing-speed limit based on the theory of ship resistance and the elasticity of the mooring rope. This method was found to be effective as it was observed that the mooring rope cannot be broken when it is estimated that the berthing-speed of a 135K LNG vessel, IWRC, and $6{\times}36$ steel wire mooring rope. The method proposed in this study will significantly contribute to preventing actual accidents related to mooring lines.
