    This document provides calculations for determining the width and depth requirements for vessel maneuvering lanes and turning basins. It calculates width as 6B for straight portions and 10.3B or 11.8B for bends depending on the deflection angle. Depth is calculated as the target vessel draught of 2.5m plus allowances for trim, squat, and over depth, totaling a required depth of 3.72m and recommending 4m.

    Width Calculation

    Basic maneuvering lane,

    WBM = 1.5B (moderate)

    Additional width for straight channel section,

    Wi1 = 0.1B (low prevailing cross current)

    Wi2 = 0.2B (Average Aids to Navigation)

    Additional width for two-way traffic,

    WP = 1.4B (moderate vessel speed)

    Width for Bank Clearance,

    WBR or WBG = 0.5B (Sloping channel edges and shoals, moderate vessel speed)

    Maneuvering lane in a bend = 3.7B (Deflection Angle 26°)

    Stopping Distance = 5L

    Diameter of turning basin = 4L (without tug assistance)

    Required Width,

    W = 2WBM + 2∑Wi + WBG + WBR + WP

    = 2 (1.5B) + 2(0.1B + 0.2B) + 2(0.5B) + 1.4B

    = 3B + 0.6B + B + 1.4B

    = 6B (Straigh0t Portion)

    W = (2x3.7B) + 0.6B + B + 1.4B

    = 7.4B + 3B = 10.3B (Angle of deflection 26°

    W = (2x4.4B) + 0.6B + B + 1.4B

    = 8.8B + 3B = 11.8B (Angle of deflection 26°


    Depth Calculation
    Target Vessel Static Draught = 2.5m

    Trim of Vessel = 0.3m (rule of thumb)

    Squat of Vessel = 0.02

    Depth allowance = 0.6m

    Over depth Allowance = 0.3m

    Required depth = 3.72m

    Take 4m.
