Abstract

The paper presents a cloud-based system for monitoring loads generated on the quay wall by ship propeller jets during berthing and unberthing maneuvers. The system provides online measurements of the dynamic pressure generated loads by propellers and warns of exceeding the permissible jet velocities over the seabed protection along the berth. The system has a modular structure consisting of a network of pressure sensors, information mapping server, communication module and web server. The suitability of the system was confirmed during two years of operation in Port of Gdynia. The open architecture of the system allows for its further extension with additional berths and integration with the smart port system.
