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.

This paper presents a method analyzing the motion of cylindrical buoy moored at 2 points and tensions action on each mooring line under the action of periodic waves. It was found that submersible buoy was more effective than floating one in the severe conditions considering its dynamic motions, wave forces, and mooring line tensions. The wave induced its dynamic responses and mooring line tensions peak when the ratio d/${\lambda}$ of the buoy length d to the waves length ${\lambda}$ was 0.66 due to its natural frequency. The results of this study were in agreement with the existing measurement ones, however, further verifications are needed considering resonance of cylindrical buoy and its displacements to wave height by a series of model tests.

항만 확장 시 기존의 매립 방식은 건설비용 및 환경 파괴 등의 문제가 발생함으로써, 부유체식 구조물을 이용한 해상 부두의 활용이 국내외에서 주목받고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 선박의 계류안전성평가에 대한 개념을 정립하고 이를 부유체식 Container Yard에 적용하기 위한 자연환경, 선박 및 부두 모델링을 수행하였다. 본 연구 자료를 토대로 향후 부유체식 Container Yard에 접안한 선박의 환경외력 및 계류삭의 장력 평가, 방충재와 계선주에 작용하는 반력 및 견인력 평가, 부두의 운동에 따른 안전성을 파악하고, 해상 부두로서의 적용 가능성을 검토하여 안전한 부두의 설계 기준 및 활용 방안을 마련하고자 한다.

This paper presents the quasi-static mooring analysis model for a vessel moored at the quay. The results of this analysis will aid the designer in determining the mooring configuration for the surface vessels subjected to wind, current and wave forces. And it will also help him in selecting the equipment for the fixed mooring system. The cumulative elastic behavior of the mooring lines invokes a complicated nonlinear problem since the mooring lines are relatively short and hang in air as noncoplanar configurations. This nonlinear mooring problem is solved in this paper by the load increment technique in which the external load is increased step by step taking all sources of nonlinearity into account.

In this study, the dynamic characteristics of an offshore platform being installed and physical phenomena are analyzed from the perspective of interaction between operation and maneuvering simulation using a real-time Maneuvering & Operation simulator of Shipbuilding & Marine Simulation Center at Tongmyong University. It was simulated to install the semi-submersible drilling rig moored by 8 mooring lines according to a scenario that is similar to it on the real sea, and 4 tug boats for position keeping of the rig and an offshore support vessel for hook-up of the mooring lines were operated. During the simulation, the motion, trajectory, tension of the objects were output in real time, and they were analyzed at each work procedure. This study about the simultaneous simulation of operation and maneuvering showed the detailed motion of the offshore platform and ships on the operation procedure and the interaction between operation and maneuvering in specific environment condition. Also, it confirmed that the simulation can be utilized to determine the possibility of offshore platform installation in specific situations.

In this paper, the analytic studies on the wave control performance of moored pontoon-type floating breakwater are presented. A two-dimensional eigenfunction expansion method is adopted to study the motion responses and the transmission coefficients of pontoon-type floating breakwater in beam waves. The stiffness coefficients of mooring line are idealized as linear elastic spring. Comparison of the analytical results with a numerical results (FEM) shows good agreement over a wide range of frequencies. The performance of mooed pontoon-type floating breakwater is tested with various design parameters such as sectional geometry, mooring line characteristics and wave frequencies. It is found that the properly designed floating breakwater can be an effective wave control structure.
