Research on a Ship Mooring Motion Suppression Method Based on an Intelligent Active Anti-Roll Platform

Abstract

Conventional ship mooring in ports has many shortcomings such as a high safety risk, low efficiency and high labor intensity. In order to explore and develop the theory and key technologies of intelligent automatic mooring systems, this paper takes an intelligent mooring system based on a parallel anti-rolling mechanism as the research and development object. A new mooring method integrating ship hydrodynamics, mechanism kinematics and intelligent algorithms is proposed. Through numerical simulation and comparative analysis of the model, the motion inhibition effect of mooring ships under different working conditions is obtained. The results show that the control strategy and intelligent algorithm of the system can realize the active control of the wharf mooring ships and achieve the goal of improving wharf stability conditions through an intelligent mooring system.

“…This design has been verified to reduce momentary tension and increase the safety factor of the ropes [11]. Additionally, a research and development effort has been focused on an intelligent mooring system based on ship hydrodynamics, mechanism kinetics, and intelligent algorithms, yielding effective suppression of mooring line movements under various operational conditions [12]. In previous studies, novel mooring methods have been proposed from a stability perspective.…”
