Study on the Impact of Inner Anchorage on Waterway Traffic Capacity
Abstract:
As the number of calling ships in container terminals rises, waterways in some harbors have become the major constraint to the overall performance of the ports service. By constructing anchorages, the congestion that happens frequently in harbor can be effectively eased, thus the traffic capacity is greatly enhanced. The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of anchorage number on waterway traffic capacity and provide theoretical foundation when deciding the anchorage scale. A simulation method with consideration of anchorages is adopted to analyze the vessels entering and departing process in coastal container terminal. Results show that waterway traffic capacity and anchorage number are polynomial correlated, waterway traffic capacity increases with the growth of anchorage number and ceases when beyond a certain level. It will be of great help to serve the planning and constructing ports and terminals.
