Analysis and Calculation of Spud Clamshell Dredger’s Heeling

Abstract:

As a ship of high technology content, dredger is equipped with a very important structural part—spud. In actual working condition, spud is affected by seabed terrain and force of sediment. Moreover, water flow and wind will impact the hull. Consequently, the effect of moment of force on the hull’s center of gravity will cause heeling of the hull. This paper, with the help of geometrical relationship, is to quantificationally analyze and calculate the influence of transverse, longitudinal sloping and ordinary heeling on the underwater positioning accuracy of clamshell in the condition of heeling. Then it offers relevant compensation, in order to reduce the accuracy error of clamshell’s underwater positioning caused by hull’s heeling.
