Study on Planning of Entrance Fairway for Sea Port Based on Maritime Simulator

Abstract:

Planning entrance fairway is a key factor for building a sea port. Generally the quantitative and qualitative analysis on planning the entrance fairway is mainly based on the standards and regulations given by the administrations. However, these standards and regulations only deal with the respective factor but cannot cover synthetic respect of considering the project feasibility. Moreover it is very tough to do a real-ship trial for a planned entrance fairway. In this paper, maritime simulator is used for optimizing the planning of entrance fairway for Fujian LNG terminal. The outcome indicates that the width of the fairway can meet the requirement of Q-Flex LNG carrier entering the port and it is suggested to do more sweeping survey and set some aids to navigation for the planned waterway.
