BERTHING ENERGY
Ef=0.5*Ms*Vb^2*Ce*Cm*Cs*Cc
Ef : Berthing Energy of Ship(kNm)
Ms : Mass of Ship(t)
Vb : Berthing Velocity of Ship(m/s)
Cm: Virtual Mass Factor
Ce : Eccentricity Factor
Cs : Flexibility Factor
Cc : Berth Configuration Factor

1
Ce=
2
l
1+(e/r)
l : distance from the ships contact point to the center of gravity of the ship
r : radius of rotation around the vertical axis

L1={0.5+e(1-k)}Lpp cos
L2={0.5-ek}Lpp cos
: Berthing Angle
e : ratio of the distance between fenders
: ratio of the length of the parallel side of ship
k : parameter that presents the relative location of the point

r=(0.19Cb+0.11)Lpp
Cb=/(LppBdf)
=Ws/(LppBdf1.03)

Cm=1+(/2Cb)*(d/B)
Cs : Flexibility Factor (Generally 1.0)
Cc : Berth Configuration Factor(Generally 1.0)

Please wait a few second.

Now Im preparing EXCEL,thank you.
