Berthing force is a critical dynamic lateral force in the design of berthing structures, having equal relevance when compared to seismic forces. Besides, the construction cost of berthing structures is very high which can be optimized by calculating precise design berthing energy on fender and selecting optimum fender system. In the present study, design berthing energy of bulk carriers having ...

Ship handling during berthing is considered as one of the most sophisticated tasks that a ship master has to face. The presence of current and wind make it even more complicated to execute, especially when ship approaches to a pier in low speed. To deal with such phenomenon, only experienced human brain decides the necessary action taken depending on situation demand. So automation in berthing ...

In this research we study the berth allocation problem (BAP) in real time as disruptions occur. In practice, the actual arrival times and handling times of the vessels deviate from their expected or estimated values, which can disrupt the original berthing plan and potentially make it infeasible. We consider a given baseline berthing schedule, and solve the BAP on a rolling planning horizon wit...

Safe and efficient berthing is essential to ensure maritime transportation the safety of ships ports. Three-dimensional (3D) light detection ranging (LiDAR) can monitor support ship because it provides abundant target information offers excellent advantages in measuring accuracy. Hence, a extraction system has been developed based on 3D LiDAR. Principal component analysis used calculate ship’s ...

We develop a constraint programming based heuristic algorithm using column generation technique to solve a ship routing problem which the loading and unloading times of cargoes at pickup and drop-off locations are significant. In order to prevent congestions at the locations, we need to assign berthing time slots to each vessel to perform the loading and unloading tasks at different locations. ...
