Analysis for Route Selection of Sanjiasha South Channel Approaching to Nantong Port
Real-measured data were used to analyze Lusi Sea area,covering local natural conditions,seabed stability and the siltation caused by Sanjiasha South Channel Phase-1 Project.Based on harbor planning,natural conditions,navigation safety and etc.,two route selection plans are proposed and compared by means of tidal current and sediment mathematical model,ship maneuvering simulation and statistical analysis.The results show that the western route plan is characterized with appropriate water depth,the minimum amount of work and construction cost,high adaptability to harbor planning,and controlled amount of siltation within the range of channel.The above axis plan is recommended for the channel for ships up to 50 000 t.
