Application of navigational simulator in port planning to determine vessel movement in worst case scenario emergency berth leaving

This paper demonstrates usage of navigational simulator for risk assessment in mooring project of Ploče oil and gas terminal in Croatia. The important part of project was simulation of leaving the berth in emergency situation and determining is there enough sea area with adequate depth to perform such manoeuvre. Analysed emergency situations imply the condition of the vessel or the terminal which demands leaving the berth to prevent or to reduce damage. For the vessel of this kind that situation demands letting go all the mooring ropes and using own engine to leave the terminal. This kind of situation may occur at all times and in any weather condition. In order to properly test the safety of the terminal this simulation has been done for the worst-case scenario when the weather conditions are in its extremes. The result was vessel trajectory which was compared with project sea area configuration to determine the possibility of vessel grounding.
