Abstract
The 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami at 14:46 JST, 11 March 2011 affected the large areas of eastern and northern part of Japan. Many sea disasters of vessels moored along the terminals such as ship drifting and grounding, and damages to the mooring facilities and equipment were occurred. Recently several reports such as questionnaires of the sea disasters have been reported. Among the sea disasters, there was a successful example of safe mooring harborage of an Aframax tanker (100kDWT class crude oil carrier) during the tsunami. In this study, we have carried out a survey of the mooring harborage by a hearing investigation to the crews, and tried to reproduce the ship behaviors during the tsunami by the numerical simulation methods on ship motions and tsunami to find out the causes of the safe harborage.
