Proposition of Automatic Ship Mooring Using Hydraulic Winch

Abstract

Abstract: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.

A Ship Berthing System Design by Cooperating with Tugboats and Dampers

“…These include fuzzy 4,5) and artificial neural network [6][7][8][9] control theory, etc 10,11) . The other studies for ship berthing use optimal [12][13][14][15] and adaptive control theory 16) . However, these methods do not guarantee stability analysis, especially for critical safety berthing system.…”
