Abstract:LNG vessel has a high freeboard,a large outward curvature,and an asymmetrical hull center relative to the manifold center.When berthing,it encounters issues of contact points between the vessel and fender being too high and having insufficient contact area.Conventional berthing structures and facilities are unable to accommodate the berthing requirements of various vessel classes,and there are hidden dangers in berthing safety.To solve this problem,this paper carries out berthing structure design and berthing facility layout in combination with an LNG terminal in Jiaxing Port.It analyzes the compatibility between rubber fenders and the parallel length of the vessel's side by considering vessel-shore matching under different operating conditions.It is proposed to install reverse berthing components above the inner side of the berthing dolphins,optimize the arrangement of inner and outer rubber fenders to accommodate various vessel classes and ensure sufficient contact area between vessels and fenders,thus avoiding excessive local pressure on the fenders and hull damage.Physical model tests are conducted to measure the physical parameters,such as vessel motion,mooring force,and impact force to validate the rationality of the berthing components and fender arrangement,ensuring compliance with safety berthing requirements for LNG vessels.
