Abstract

NB port has proposed to build a new NBGB terminal for production needs. The navigational environment of NB port is complex, and the ships between adjacent terminals have obvious influence on each other when entering and berthing. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed terminal's design vessel type entering and berthing, to fully reflect the influence of human factors on the vessel entering and berthing, and to be closer to the real situation of the proposed terminal's later operation, this paper simulates the ships entering and berthing maneuvering at NBGB terminal by using a large ship maneuvering simulator. Based on the real data of port navigation environment, port regulations, traffic density and so on. The simulation test simulates the real scenario of ships entering and berthing maneuvering and simulates the actual situation of the proposed terminal to the maximum extent, and at the same time, considering the mutual influence of ships maneuvering at adjacent berths, the simulation test of multi-ships berthing is carried out simultaneously. It can be demonstrated through simulation tests that the ships entering and berthing operations at adjacent berths during the same window period have little influence on the ships operations at NBGB terminal. Through the analysis of the test results, the rationalization suggestions for the orderly entry and exit of ships in complex waters are proposed, which can provide technical support for the assessment of navigational safety risks and the formulation of traffic organization plans for the entry and exit of ships in the project waters and enhance the safety and security measures and port management level.
