Berthing energy and fender selection – PIANC / BS 6349-4
Design berthing energy, fender reaction and hull pressure for a vessel berthing on a quay or dolphin.
Calculation method
Kinetic energy method Ec = ½·M·V²·CE·CM·CS·CC (PIANC 2002 / BS 6349-4:2014); Brolsma berthing velocities; fender performance with tolerance, velocity, temperature and angle factors.
