Abstract

To improve dredging efficiency and expand transportation, trailing suction dredger with shuttle barge moored at one side is applied in long distance reclamation projects. Line arrangement and line tension estimation method is established for prototype testing of this new technique. The variation rule of line tension in different operation stage is studied and a program working on optimal relative position of two vessels with minimum deformation energy is put forward. The computational results are evaluated by comparing with experiment data.
