Abstract

In this paper, a new solution is proposed for the problem of mooring safety of large ships in complex sea conditions. Firstly, a dual-mode mooring system is designed to adaptively switch between active control and passive energy storage, adjusting the mooring strategy based on real-time sea conditions. Second, a collaborative analysis platform based on AQWA-Python-MATLAB/Simulink was researched and developed. Thirdly, based on the above simulation platform, the performance of the mooring system and the effects of different configurations on the stability of ship motion and dynamic tension of the cable are emphasized. Finally, by comparing the different mooring positions under various sea conditions with the traditional mooring system, the results show that the constant tension mooring system significantly improves the stability and safety of the ship under both conventional and extreme sea conditions, effectively reducing the fluctuation of cable tension. Through the optimization analysis, it is determined that the configuration of bow and stern cables is the optimal solution, which ensures safety while also improving economic benefits.
