Abstract

This paper describes a theoretical - numerical model for the simulation of the motion of berthed ships in harbours, excited by waves. The model simulates the whole process, from a deep sea storm, to the motion of a berthed ship. The model is being developed as a part of a research project, funded by the Israeli Ports and Railways Authority, aimed to assist the design of extensions of the Ports of Haifa and Ashdod in Israel. The numerical model is being run in parallel with physical agitation models for both harbours (Haifa and Ashdod). A verification of the numerical results against the physical model is presented. The movements of the moored ships, calculated by the model, are combined with data of wave statistic, to pre
