Wave measurement

Solutions:
• Noorderkanaal
• Dockships
• “extended” estuair regime

Lloyd’s Register EMEA
Access to the network of inland waterways from Zeebrugge:• Traditional inlandwater tankers
Provided “good’ weather
• CoastersBut too high requirementsAnd high investment/operational
costs
Due to lack of reliable knowledge of the risk-level

Extended Estuair
• Based on Risk analyses
• Simulation of ships motions and behaviour as a response to the 10years wave spectra: in the particular sea area
![Page 7: Paul Moeyaert](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/56816391550346895dd48798/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Statistical distribution of occurances of dangerous situations
• Slamming
• Greenseas
• Rolling
• Bending moment
![Page 8: Paul Moeyaert](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/56816391550346895dd48798/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lloyd’s Register EMEA
Acceptable frequency
• Bending moment : once a life time
• Slamming: once per year
• Green seas : once per life time

Iterative process of designIf the number of incidents proves to be too
high : 2 possible actions:
•Restrict the allowable weather conditions
And/or
•Increase strength
Optimum solution

Significant Wave Height
• Is a far more accurate criterion for reflecting the risks compared to the old yardstick : Beaufort Number
• As basis for designing ships
• But also as a criterium for the captain: whether to make the voyage or the wait for better circumstances

Further possible improvements
• Accuracy of predictions on medium term
• Directional predictions
• Distinction between:Swell
– Caused by remote storms – Long waves, traveling at known speed– well predictable
Local waves– Same predictability like the local wind– Shortcrested waves
