mooring analysis using British Standard 6349

[lvkb]

I am trying to evaluate mooring forces on a 10 000DWT minibulk vessel using BS6349: part 1. The vessel is in shallow water (depth/draught at low water is 1.2), so I need to apply a depth correction factor to the current force. However the figure in the standard (fig 30) only gives me correction factors for very large tankers or container ships, neither of which I think are relevant to the vessel I am analysing. Does any one have any suggestions over the relevant depth correction factors to be using, or can point me in the right direction of any books that might be of help?

Thank you

There are container ships of 10,000 dwt, so you can use the correction factors from figure 30.

If you can get a fentek marine fendering systems catalogue it can help with vessel sizes.Try
