Description

This Excel sheet calculates the required Bollard Pull to tow 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

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

    I have other product from The Naval Arch, that I have been using for the past 6 years, with ease of inputs it has assisted in my daily operations as a marine surveyor.
    With all products there is full support, and updates

    Especially the presented / calculated default values for certain input assisted with incomplete / unreliable information by the client. Here is also I see the greatest potential for improvement. Many of the coefficients can be estimated using thumb rules. Providing these would further enhance the programs usage, especially in a salvage context.

      Thanks for the feedback Carl. We look to implement them in the next version
