VESSEL CHARACTERISTICS FOR INLAND WATERWAYS TRANSPORT
Keywords:
Inland waterways, channel, containership, transport, squat.Abstract
Inland waterways transport has a potential to be exploited in order to reduce the congestion at the seaport, the road to other destination, subtracting the cost for road construction, to decrease the use of energy resources, and environmental degradation. The inland waterways port is not new, however the references of inland port are still limited, therefore the studies of these issues are encouraged. This study looks at the benefit of such a inland waterways ports; then using the design parameter of ships pass through to port will be made base on the data gathered from containership’s companies and the basic equation from the literature referred. The size of vessels that passed through the waterways depend on the depth and width of channel, so also when the vessel will be berthed at the port, these depend on the size of turning basin diameter and depth of wharfs. These equations for determining the size of vessels that pass through particular waterways are formulated. The proposed of these models are implemented by a case study at existing and the port website information from many countries, the results indicate that these equations achieve a good result.References
