Ultra Large Container Vessels
Ultra Large Container Vessels
• Thorough analysis performed to determine feasibility of accommodating 18k TEU vessels
• Real-time full bridge simulations determined to be essential for pilot comfort and testing maneuvering-based risk mitigation measures
• Efficient system developed:• Simulator data taken directly into ship hydrodynamic model to
produce loads and moments on berthed vessel(s)• Hydrodynamic model data taken directly into dynamic mooring
analysis to determine potential mooring impacts• Mooring analysis results used to develop guidance for pilots,
risk assessment for berth infrastructure, recommended improvements
Ultra Large Container Vessels
• Results indicate that ULCVs are so large that:• Maneuvering safety sensitive to environmental forces• Difficult to control speeds given large swept path with drift angle• Loads on berthed vessels are highly sensitive to speed and passing
distance• Maneuvering improvements crucial to reduce passing speeds• In some instances, ULCVs passing a particular berth pose the
largest new risk to existing berth infrastructure (vs. ULCVs mooring at a berth).
Conclusions• ULCVs require particular attention be paid to passing ship effects.
• Berth infrastructure risk during accommodation of ULCVs should also consider smaller ships passed at berth.
• Validations successfully expanded to include complex (realistic) maneuvering and hydrodynamic processes such as bow solitary waves, broken bore effects, and sloshing/bathtub effects.
• Real maneuvering is often complex, accurate loads on berthed vessels require simulations and/or AIS information.
• Numerical modeling proven critical in the development and testing of measures to mitigate the harmful impacts of these hydrodynamic phenomena.
