About this app
Shipmove Mooring Analysis is a method of determining the required number of moorings for commercial ships.
Note currently only vessel types Tanker, Cargo / Bulker, and Container ship between 100m and 300m LOA are catered for by the app.
Using the principal dimension of a vessel (LOA - Length Overall) Shipmove has established a verifiable and reliable method to determine; the transverse and longitudinal area of the vessel above the water line exposed to wind, and the transverse area below the water line exposed to current. This is on a ship type basis.
More importantly it allows the application to determine the upper limits or bounds of such areas, and their likely disposition; so that calculations can be made on the maximum forces experienced by the vessel.
The application then calculates the number of mooring lines required to restrain such forces.
At each step of the calculation, an evaluation is made of the worst likely (note not the absolute worst possible) conditions. Such evaluations (which include some assumptions) include a reasonable safety margin at each step so are predominantly cumulative.
This, reinforced by favourable comparison of sample outputs from the application against industry standard mooring programs, provides significant confidence in the results of the app.
