ABSTRACT

Severe wind-wave due to tropical cyclone Linda can cause port downtime which affects port operations such as berthing, mooring and (un)loading of the ship. The ship motions are criteria for limiting the port operations, human safety and preventing the damage of port equipment and furniture. Therefore, this study discusses moored ship motions due to severe wind-wave during the tropical cyclone Linda which entered the Gulf of Thailand in November 1997. The ship motions are represented in the moored ship analysis at SRH (Sriracha Harbour Port) and BLCP (BLCP Coal-Fired Power Plant Port), and are subject to the static environmental load on the ship in accordance with Spanish Standard (ROM 0.2-1990) [1]. The environment in numerical model is derived from the wave model and hydrodynamics model using the application of Delft3D-WAVE and Delft3D-FLOW. The model location includes Ao Udom Bay and Rayong Sea. The model results represent the environment at Rayong Sea which is more severe than Ao Udom Bay. The ship motions at BLCP are mostly larger than SRH.

KEYWORDS
