Ship Channel Configurator

Application permettant de calculer la profondeur et la largeur d'un canal pour un navire.

The purpose of this App is to determine the Depth and Width required in an Inner or Outer Channel for a ship based on its Deepest Draft, Length Overall and Beam.

The calculations/factors involved are based on PIANC (The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure) guidelines.

The calculations take into various key factors that include: ship’s speed, wind, current, waves/swell, nature of channel bottom, channel slope, traffic condition, drift angle and response time.

The App can be used as a preliminary design method to determine the channel configuration (depth and width) for a ship to safely transit the channel with adequate clearances.

A detailed design will subsequently have to be conducted using PIANC guidance to confirm/finalise the results.
