“…One of these risks is how the scouring effect on the seabed induced by ship propellers during ship arrival and departure manoeuvres near the harbour structures can affect their stability: Bergh & Magnussen, 1987;Chait, 1987;Fuehrer, Pohl, & Römish, 1987;Hamill, Johnston, & Stewart, 1999;Hamill, Ryan, & Johnston, 2009 studied the propeller scouring effects using experimental scenarios; Mujal-Colilles et al, 2017a compared and applied previous formulas to a real case. Latelly, Schokking, Janssen, & Verhagen, 2003;Symonds, Britton, Donald, & Loehr, 2017;Tan & Yüksel, 2018 were using both numerical and experimental methods to predict propeller scouring effects. When scour occurs, the eroded material is deposited in other areas of the harbour, affecting ship manoeuvring capabilities due to a significant reduction of the water column height.…”
