5. Fender of Berthing
5.1. Berthing Energy

The amount of energy to be absorbed by the fender system

E= 0.5CMMDVB2CE CS CC ------------- (1) (Ref: BS: 6349-4:94, Art: 4.7.1)

Where,
CM= Hydrodynamic mass coefficient= 1 + 2D/B= 1.877
D= Draught of the vessel= 5.7 m
B= Beam of the vessel =13.0 m
MD= Displacement of the ship= 1.4 x 3000=4200 ton
VB= Velocity of the vessel normal to the berth = 0.3 m/s
CE=Eccentricity coefficient = K2/ (K2+R2) ≈ 0.2
K= (0.19 Cd+0.11) L= 21.87
Cd= Block coefficient =0.65~0.70
R= Distance of the point of contract to the centre of mass = 45 m
L= Length of the hull between perpendiculars = 90 m
CS= Softness coefficient = 1.0
CC= Berth configuration coefficient =1.0

So the energy to be absorbed by the fender system, E= 70.95 kN-m

5.2. Berthing Energy in Ro-Ro berths:

5.2.1 Mode a):
The fender system shall be designed according to art: 1.1

Page 5
 Analysis and Design Report on Jetty

Berthing energy for the side fenders is same as in art: 1.1

5.2.3 Mode c):

1.2.3.1 Side fenders:
The side fenders should be designed to absorb the total energy E2 of the ship

E2= 0.5CMMD (Vsinα) 2 CE CS CC ------------- (3) (Ref: BS: 6349-4:94, Art: 4.7.6.4.1)
α= the angle of approach = 15 deg (ref: Art: 4.7.6.4.1 of BS 6349-4: 94),
For outer end fender E2=66.2 kN-m
Design Energy to be absorbed by fender shall be 70.95kN-m.

6. Design of Mooring

6.1 Evaluation of Mooring Loads:

6.1.1 Wind Forces:

FTW= CTW ρA AL VW2 10-4 ---------------- (5) (Ref: BS: 6349-1:2000, Art: 42.2)
FLW= CLW ρA AL VW2 10-4 ------------------ (6) (Ref: BS: 6349-1:2000, Art: 42.2)

Where
FTW= the transverse wind force, kN.
FLW= the longitudinal wind force, kN.
Angle of wind off bow = 60⁰ (critical condition)
CTW= the transverse wind force coefficient = 1.8
CLW= the longitudinal wind force coefficient = 0.9
ρA= density of air = 1.3096 kg/m3 at 0 °C
= 1.1703 kg/m3 at 30 °C
AL= longitudinal projected area of the vessel above water = 1.1 x 90 = 99 m2
VW= design wind velocity= 260kmph =72.25 m/s

So wind force in transverse direction, FTW= 125 kN

And wind force in longitudinal direction, FLW= 61 kN

6.1.2 Current Forces:

FTC= CTC CCT ρ LBP dm V’c2 10-4 ----------------- (7) (Ref: BS: 6349-1:2000, Art: 42.2)
FLC= CLC CCL ρ LBP dm V’c2 10-4 ------------------ (8) (Ref: BS: 6349-1:2000, Art: 42.2)

Where,
FTC= the transverse current force, kN.
FLC= the longitudinal current force, kN.
CTC= the transverse current drag force coefficient = 1.25 at 60 deg flow (ref: fig: 26 BS6349-
1:2000)
CLC= the longitudinal current drag force coefficient = -0.1 (ref: fig: 26 BS6349-1:2000)
CCT= the depth correction factor for transverse direction= 6.7(ref: fig: 30 BS6349-1:2000)
CCL= the depth correction factor for longitudinal direction = 1.5(ref: fig: 31 BS6349-1:2000)
ρA= density of water = 1025 kg/m3
LBP= length between perpendiculars of the vessel= 90-10= 80m
dm= mean draught of the vessel=5.7m

Page 6
 Analysis and Design Report on Jetty

V’C= average current velocity = 1 m/s

So current force in transverse direction, FTC= 696 kN
And current force in longitudinal direction, FLC= 12 kN

Design load for mooring system= 696+12= 708 ≈ 710 kN

7. Steady Drag Force

The steady drag force can be calculated from the expression,

FD= 0.5CD ρ V2 An ------------------- (9) (Ref: BS: 6349-1:2000, Art: 38.2)

Where,
CD= drag force coefficient =0.90
ρ= density of water in ton per m3=1.025 t/m3
V= Current velocity = 3 m/s
An= area normal to the flow = 7.75 x 0.5=5.04 m2

So, Steady Drag Force per pile = 20 kN

8. Inertia Force
The Inertia Force can be calculated from Morison equation,
Fi= 0.0625 Ci ρ g D2 H Ki --------------- (10)

Ci= inertia force coefficient =2.0

ρ= density of water in ton per m3=1.025 t/m3
D= Diameter of the member = 0.75m
Ki = 0.39
g = Gravitational acceleration =9.81 m/s2
H= height of member=7.75m

So, Inertia Force per pile = 0.24 kN

9. Wave Slam
The vertical wave slam force of a cylindrical member can be expressed from

Fs = 0.5 Cs ρ Vη2 l Ws ----------------- (11) (Ref: BS: 6349-1:2000, Art: 39.4.5)

Cs= slamming coefficient = 3.6

Vη= vertical velocity of the water = 1m/s
l= length of member = 7.75m
Ws= diameter of the member = 0.75 m
So, wave slam force = 9.07 kN

Additional force per pile = steady drag force+ Inertia force + wave slum
= 20+0.24+9.07 = 29.31 kN

12. Evaluation of Point of Fixity of Pile from Dredged Level (-9.5mRL) at Free Head
Condition:
(A) For sands:
a. [Ep lw / nh ] 0.2
=1.8 x [3759 x 1.088/0.556]0.2 = 11.97 ft= 3.65m
Where:
Ep = modulus of elasticity of pile (ksi) = 57000√ (4350) =3759ksi
lw = weak axis moment of inertia for pile (ft4 )=1.92
nh = rate of increase of soil modulus with depth for
Sands as specified in Table C10.4.6.3-2 (AASHTO- 2010) (ksi/ft) = 0.556

(B) For clays:

1.4 [Ep lw / Es] 0.25 = 1.4 x [3759 x 1.92/3.5]0.25 = 9.43ft = 2.9m

Es = soil modulus for clays=3.5 (ref: Table: C10.4.6.3-1, AASHTO- 2010)

Hence critical value of point of fixity 3.65m is considered.
