Navigation and mooring

As maritime traffic increases, ship safety along coasts and the operability of ship manoeuvres in harbours are becoming ever more important issues. Artelia has studied mooring and shiphandling problems for some sixty years and developed an original study centre, Port Revel, which has become a shiphandling training centre of international repute. Thanks to the know-how of the centre's instructors and some extremely powerful numerical models for simulating shiphandling and performing hydrodynamic calculations of ship stability at berth, Artelia is helping to improve the design and performance of the ports and terminals of the future, optimise dredging operations and safeguard approach routes to ports.
