Addresses the numerous drawbacks of cable mooring in terminals,and based on the relevant requirements for allowable wave height in Design Code of General Layout for Sea Ports,utilizing ANSYS/AQWA mooring analysis software,a three-dimensional mooring model of a shielded container terminal and a small barge is established as the research subject.The motion responses of vessels under different operational wave heights and with/without cable mooring are simulated and calculated,a comparative analysis of the allowable operational wave heights with/without cable mooring is conducted.The simulation results indicate that,compared to cable mooring,cableless mooring imposes greater constraints on ship lateral,longitudinal,yaw and turning movements under different operational wave heights,reduces the motion of moored vessels,and enhances the allowable operational wave height of the terminal.The feasibility and effectiveness of cableless mooring have been preliminarily validated,providing a simulation research foundation for the development of cableless mooring technology.
