The ship’s safe mooring stability is a principles for the safe cargo handling works at the mooring berth. Today numerous standards, guidelines and recommendations concerning mooring practices, fittings and equipments exist throughout the worldwide maritime industries. In recently, the mooring facilities were constructed as dolphin types at the open sea area apart far from shoreside instead of enclosed coastline area in accordance with increasing ship’s size and for preventing environmental pollution. Therefore the exciting wave condition must be considered as a basic environmental criteria with the wind force and current force for all of the mooring ships at the sea berth facilities. In this study, this added wave force as one of the environmental external forces by using the theoretical formula was applied to the LNG ship in Pyeongtaeg harbor needed the special mooring stability of the sea berth. Through this research, it can be confirmed that wave force is the very important factor in the mooring force and the strength of wave force works much more in the full laden condition than in the lightship condition. And also the wave force changes to non-linear states according to the wave frequency and wave length. In addition, the maximum limit criteria of environmental force of prohibiting the entering ship on the berth and loading works controlled by the port authority concerned of Pyeongtaeg port fully satisfies the condition of the mooring limit force recommended by OCIMF that the safe permitted force of the mooring line have to be within 55 % of MBL.

Structural modifications of a ship may cause a fatal accident such as sinking and wrecking of ship. Especially, barge ship can be easily reconstructed to load more bulk cargo. In this study, for a real accident case, change of mooring force due to structural modification was analyzed to evaluate accident risk. A two dimensional dynamic model for the barge ship was constructed to compute mooring forces with related to floating motion. The equation of motion was established in Matlab code and buoyancy was calculated by using direct integration of submerged volume. The results showed that wind force, current force, and mooring force after rebuilding was approximately 4.3 kN, 14 kN, 1,561 kN respectively. The maximum force of mooring force according to the length of mooring cable were 1,614 kN at 30 m of mooring cable. Thus, an arbitrary modification of ship lead instability and unreliable result so that illegal rebuilding of ship should be avoided.

The numerical analysis of the automatic ship mooring system which was equipped in the ship for trying to berth at the pier was performed in this study. The automatic ship mooring using hydraulic winch was a new method that had not need to change the existing devices and to help a pilot ship of outside. The numerical results of the proposed mooring system including ship motion were that the speed and rolling phenomenon of ship was affected by changing in the ship weight and affected the slope maintenance and yaw degree of ship if there has a trim of stern. Also, a static force of ship at the initial movement was important to calculate the mooring power. The moving force and inertial force of ship on the vertical direction was confirmed for the mooring stability. Therefore, the power and velocity of hydraulic mooring winch should be determined by considering the significant characteristics such as weight, velocity, inertial force and moving force of ship.

대형액화천연가스(Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG)선이 연안 터미널에 정박할 경우 바람과 조류 등의 환경하중에 대응하여 안전을 확보할 수 있는 계류 안전을 위한 케이블 계류력 산정이 필요하다. 이에 기존의 주요 계류역(Mooring Force) 계산방법의 비교 및 분석을 수행하였다. 비교 및 분석을 통해 석유회사국제해운포럼(Oil Companies International Marine Forum, OCIMF)의 계류설비지침에서 권고하는 계산방법을 선정하였으며 이를 기반으로 본 논문에서는 실제 대형 LNG선에 적용하여 OCIMF 계류설비지침의 스펙트럼을 이용한 계류줄의 계류력 계산 사례를 제시하였다. OCIMF 계류설비지침에 따른 스펙트럼으로 계산한 계류력은 환경 외력과 풍동 시험으로 계산한 바람저항계수 기반 선박 환경 외력과 최대값에서 매우 유사한 결과값을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. OCIMF 계류설비지침에 따른 스펙트럼으로 계산한 계류력에 대한 검증으로 전문 계류력 계산 소프트웨어인 OPTIMOOR 소프트웨어를 사용하여 결과를 비교하였으며 둘의 결과는 매우 유사한 것을 확인하였다. OPTIMOOR를 사용할 경우에는 각각의 케이블의 인장력을 정밀하게 계산할 수 있어 경제적인 제약이 없을 때 적극적 사용이 추천된다. 결론적으로 OCIMF 계류설비지침에 따른 스펙트럼으로 계산한 계류력이 대형 LNG선의 계류력 계산에 적용함에 문제가 없음을 실제 계산 사례를 통해 검증할 수 있었다.

This paper describes the quay mooring analysis to verify the safety of a moored drillship in typhoon conditions. Mooring system consists of mooring equipments(deck bollards, shore bitts, mooring lines, fenders) to resist the extreme environmental condition. Wind force acting on the drillship is obtained from the wind tunnel test results. The strength of quay mooring system has been checked. The static mooring analysis shows that the designed mooring system satisfies the mooring design criteria. Vertical displacements of the drillship have been calculated considering the dynamic wave motions and static heelings due to the wind force acting on the ship. With the vertical displacements and the hull draft of drillship, the required water depth for quay mooring has been derived.

A finite element model is developed for dynamic response prediction of floating offshore wind turbine systems considering coupling of wind turbine, floater and mooring system. The model employs Morison's equation with Srinivasan's model for hydrodynamic force and a non-hydrostatic model for restoring force. It is observed that for estimation of restoring force of a small floater, simple hydrostatic model underestimates the heave response after the resonance peak, while non-hydrostatic model shows good agreement with experiment. The developed model is used to discuss influence of heave plates and modeling of mooring system on floater response. Heave plates are found to influence heave response by shifting the resonance peak to longer period, while response after resonance is unaffected. The applicability of simplified linear modeling of mooring system is investigated using nonlinear model for Catenary and Tension Legged mooring. The linear model is found to provide good agreement with nonlinear model for Tension Leg mooring while it overestimates the surge response for Catenary mooring system. Floater response characteristics under different wave directions for the two types of mooring system are similar in all six modes but heave, pitch and roll amplitudes is negligible in tension leg due to high restraint. The reduced amplitude shall lead to reduction in wind turbine loads.

스마트 항만시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 무엇보다 선박을 자동으로 계류시킬 수 있는 시스템이 요구된다. 항만의 자동계류시스템의 허용 계류력을 산정하기 위해서는 선박의 특성을 고려하고, 해양환경적 외란으로 부터 발생된 외력을 정확히 계산해야 한다. 이러한 환경적 외란의 크기를 정확히 추정하는 것은 자동계류장치 설계를 위해서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 항만 및 어항 설계기준에 따라 한바다호에 대한 계류력을 추정하였다. 그 결과 한바다호에 작용하는 대부분의 외력은 바람으로부터 기인되는 것을 확인하였다. 가장 극한 해양조건(B.F 6)에서 한바다호에 작용하는 종방향 힘은 18kN, 횡방향 힘은 248kN으로 나타났다.

In this paper, we investigated the design method of mooring system in ultra deep sea and carried out the conceptual design for offshore West Africa oil field in ultra deep sea of 3000 meters. Recently, it was feasible to design and install the offshore floating structures in deep sea of up to 2000 meters. Due to the simplicity, two-point mooring design is fully utilized. Force-excursion curves are throughly examined to find out the feasibility of various combinations of mooring lines. Free length and pretension effects are discussed. It is found that composite materials including synthetic fiber rope may be good solution for ultra deep sea mooring design.

A moored floating structure may exhibit resonant motion responses to low-frequency excitations. Similar to the resonant responses of many vibration systems, the motion amplitude of a moored floating structure is significantly affected by the damping of the entire system. In such cases, the damping contributed by the mooring lines sometimes accounts for as much as 80% of the total damping. While the damping induced by catenary mooring lines is well-investigated, few studies have been conducted on the damping induced by taut mooring lines, especially one partly embedded in soil. The present study develops a simple but accurate model for estimating the damping contributed by mooring lines. A typical type of taut mooring line was used as the reference and the hydrodynamic drag force and soil resistance were taken into consideration. The proposed model was validated by comparing its predictions with those of a previously developed model and experimental measurements obtained by a physical model. Case studies and sensitivity studies were also conducted using the validated model. The damping induced by the soil resistance was found to be considerably smaller than the hydrodynamic damping. The superposition of the wave frequency motion on the low-frequency motion was also observed to significantly amplify the damping induced by the mooring lines.
