... by ice protection barriers and the design of the jetties and quays to sustain the ice loads, – a brash ice management system (BIMS), – a customized winterization of equipment and the adequate sizing of the Port support fleet in order to ease the operations in open waters and in the ice...

... and Coastal Engineering Research Laboratory Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute Ansan, Korea ABSTRACT The feasibility of placing a large floating quay on the star-board side of a container ship for offloading from both sides is investigated. A 1:100- scale model test was conducted for the tree-body...

... ABSTRACT Feasibility of using floating quay container terminal for loading to or unloading from container ships from both sides is discussed. The hydrodynamic interaction effects among a fixed quay, container ship, and floating quay, which are parallel to one another, are investigated...

... characteristics such as hysteresis and buckling behavior of the prototype. The accelerations of platform, reaction forces of fenders, and tensions of mooring cables were measured in regular and irregular waves for various wave directions. The interaction between the floating structure and quay was also...

..., and mean drift forces in waves and uniform currents. The zero-current case of THOBEM agrees well with the frequency-domain results. The computed results are compared with experiments. The influence of neighboring boundaries, such as quays, is also studied. The responses of a BMP in the installation site...
