Study on the impact of LNG carrier entering and leaving port on the passing capacity of narrow channel

Abstract

As a clean energy source, LNG has been widely used. LNG ships need to enter and leave the port area through the channel. With the development of the port, the ship traffic will gradually increase. As a manual excavation of narrow and long channel, its passing capacity will become a constraint factor for LNG receiving stations and port development. In this paper, the system simulation method is used to study the impact of LNG ship entry and exit on the passage capacity of the channel, which can provide basis and reference for the planning, site selection and channel construction of the LNG receiving station.
