The effect of ship wave on the approach bank slope and ship is not stipulated yet in Chinese code. It is particularly important to grasp the influencing rule of ship wave on offshore operation ship. In order to analyze the effect of ship wave on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao island tunnel bridge project in the process of installation of immersed tunnel tube, we take preventive measures. We also research related literatures published by domestic and overseas scholars and domestic and overseas related codes, revise the clerical errors in some literatures and recommend available calculation formulae of ship wave for the installation of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge immersed tunnel tube. The attenuation is deduced through field actual conditions calculation, physical model test, and field actual measurement, etc. The speed restricted conditions of ship navigation for immersed tube installation is also deduced.
