Research On Passing Effects on Ships
Background
Passing vessels can form a threat to continuous and safe loading and discharging operations of vessels due to the unwanted horizontal motions and mooring loads of the moored vessel under influence of the forces due to the passing vessel. Interruption of loading/discharging operations can result from excessive motions of the moored vessels leading to down-time, loss of efficiency and, when transfer of oil or gas is involved, potentially dangerous situations.
MARIN, Pinkster Marine Hydrodynamics (PMH BV), SvaĊĦek Hydraulics and Deltares are applying their knowledge and resources to formulate and carry out a Joint Industry Project RoPES aimed at improving knowledge regarding the physical phenomena involved and the means to predict the behaviour of the moored vessel.

Objectives
To provide insight into the effects of passing ships and to validate and develop methodologies for the evaluation of such effects on ships moored in a port in order to provide solutions for existing and new port and terminal developments
