Abstract
The contribution of this paper is to study the mooring stability of oil tankers by OPTIMOOR software considering the open environmental conditions in Changxing Island Port Area. Firstly, influence factors on mooring stability is analyzed, which are considered as the inputs in the numerical models. Then, the experimental cases under the combinations of waves, water level, tidal current, and wind are developed. Next, the standard of mooring stability used in this paper is given after comprehensively considering the standards used in Norwegian, German, Japan and British. Finally, by feeding the environmental conditions in Changxing Island Port Area, all the numerical experimental tests are conducted and six motion components of moored ships are obtained. The results show that (1) The water level has little effect on six motion components. (2) Compared with oblique sea and following sea, beam sea has the greatest impact on the mooring stability of oil tankers.
