The combined forces above will be used to determine tension forces at each mooring lines. Those
loads will be increased by considering passing vessel effect based on required condition. The passing
vessel effect will increased current velocity around the designed berth and need to consider during
operating condition.

8. Additional Force Caused by Passing Vessel :

Additional force caused by passing vessel effect will be determined according to recommendation
from US Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center such as follows :

S
S

- Passing Vessel Data : (Any kind of vessels) 6,500 DWT

B = 20.3 m
D = 7.9
79 m
LBP = 118.0 m
- Direction : = Parallel to moored vessel
- Separation distance (S) = 1000.0 m
- Maneuver Vel. of Passing Vessel (Vv) = 200.0 mm/s or 0.4 knot
- Beam to Beam Separation (G) = 974.75 m
- Draft to Depth Ratio (D/d) = 0.83
- Coefficient of Peak Surge Force (CX) = 1.00
- Coefficient of Peak Sway Force (Cy) = 1.00
- Coefficient of Peak Yaw Moment (Cy) = 1.00
- Forces Caused by Passing Vessel Effect :
FY = 0 kN ; No passing vessel effect
FX = 0 kN ; No passing vessel effect
MY = 0 kN.m ; No passing vessel effect

The force caused by passing vessel effect will be added in the calculation. Yaw moment (MY) and
surge force will give significant effect to the mooring lines. The both forces will be considered to the
designed mooring lines.
Mooring Analysis 6 Points for Mooring Lines Condition 1
9. Calculation of Mooring Lines Tension :

Simplified method will be used to determine the mooring lines tension by considering the moored
vessel as system that has only two degrees of freedom. Longitudinal forces are assumed to be
resisted by single mooring line only (M5 or M6) and yaw rotation will not be resisted by the both
spring lines. The calculation will be summarized as follows :

*) The calculated mooring forces above shall be used for selection of suitable bollard type and mooring structures design. The
forces shall be increased by 20% and shall be compared to minimum mooring force based on ship displacement due to
mooring structure design.

*) The designed force for mooring system shall be located on bollard point by considering horizontal and vertical mooring
angles of the mooring lines

*) It suggested that the designed of mooring structures shall be : M1 = M4

M2 = M3
M5 = M6

*) Designed breasting force shall be same as maximum mooring line tension plus additional impact sway force if passing
vessel effect is considered. Hence, maximum designed breasting force is 613.6 kN
