Abstract

As the development of ship building technologies, ships have been becoming larger and larger. As a result, the existing ports and waterways can not meet the requirements of safe navigation, berthing and unberthing operations of large ships. In order to ensure the safe berthing and unberthing for large ships, wharf and waterways need to be rebuilt, also it is necessary to check whether the rebuilt wharf can meet the navigation needs. In this paper, the ship handling simulator is used to simulate the safe berthing and unberthing of the pier. This paper establishes the mathematical model of ship motions, generates virtual navigation environment, applies the concepts of track zone width, potential ship handling water area, utility function and risk of berthing operation, and makes a comprehensive analysis of the width of the channel, ship manoeuvring waters and the safety of berthing operation, and puts forward some objective and reasonable suggestions on the safety of berthing. By practical application of ship-handling simulator to evaluate the safety of ship berthing and unberthing, it shows that the method based on ship-handling simulator is objective, feasible and reasonable to analyze and evaluate the navigation safety of wharf engineering, and has a good value of application.
