Analysis for Mooring System of Ship

Shenghui Tao, Hui Liu

The mooring system of a bulk carrier under wave, wind and current action is numerically simulated by creating the finite element models in ANSYS-AWQA. The numerical simulation of the ship mooring system under three typical working conditions is carried out, and the tension of the anchor chain is checked, the motion response is analysed, and the numerical calculation results are analysed. The results show that the analysis for the motion responses of the mooring system and the tension check of the mooring lines play an important role in the construction and safety of the ship. In addition, the numerical simulation analysis can provide the basis and guarantee for the selection of the suitable mooring system, and it has great meaning for reducing the economic loss.
