    Hi

    Following the success of Bollard Pull Calculator for Barges, www.thenavalarch.com introduces an Excel Engine for Bollard Pull calculations for Ships, i.e., a conventional ship-shaped vessel.

    It rigorously calculates all the forces on the vessel, viz.

    1. Calm Water Resistance: It is calculated using the established Holtrop and Mennen formula

    2. Wind resistance: Based on Wind Height and Shape coefficients from ABS MODU rules, and corrected for wind direction.

    3. Wave Resistance: From DNV Rules for Marine Operations, and corrected for forward vessel speed using Faltinsen, 1990

    4. Propeller resistance and Hawser resistance: From US Navy Towing Manual


    Very useful in Marine Operations. It can be used to accurately predict the bollard pull to tow a vessel. The tug can be accordingly selected.

    A youtube video demo can be found here:
