Numerical Analysis of the Impact of the Ship Dock and the Design of a New-style Mooring Device

As the ships become larger in scale and more efficient, it is of vital importance to improve the dock's efficiency and the safety of mooring the ships. According to the numerical analysis of the impact between a 143600DWT bulk cargo ship and the dock with the conventional mooring method, the damage mainly appears in the local position of the impact, especially in the angular point of the mooring device; The more mooring piers there are, the less impact there will be. Some ideas of the design of mooring device are proposed on the basis of numerical analysis conclusion.
