www.thenavalarch.com launches the Mooring Forces Calculator - Port/Stbd on Quay
This spreadsheet helps user to design a mooring pattern for a ship mooring by its side (Port or Stbd) to the Quay. The spreadsheet is based on the US Navy DDS-582-1 Calculations for Mooring Systems
Calculates the Mooring Line Tensions
Rigorously calculates the environmental forces of wind and current from the graphs provided in DDS-582-1
Immensely useful in Mooring operations
Reports the factor of safety for the resulting mooring forces
It can be used to design for both normal or extreme weather condition
A demo video is below:
