Abstract

At present, the navigation environment of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River is complex, the tidal current direction near the wharf, anchorage and waterway is complex, and the flow velocity is large, and the maximum flood period can reach 6-7 knots. With the full play of the function of the golden waterway, the increasing density of ships' navigation and the increasingly complex navigation environment, the safety of ship pilotage is facing increasing pressure and challenges. The construction of the 12.5-meter deepwater channel in Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River has been improved, and the improvement of the navigation environment has become possible. The entry and exit of 150000 DWT ships in Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River will be normalized. In the process of entering the port, ships need to go through navigation, anchor dropping, berthing and unberthing and other operations. Large ships, especially restricted ships (mainly refers to super draught ships), are limited by water depth. During the process of navigation, anchor dropping, berthing and unberthing, tidal optimization is indispensable. The optimization of anchorage capacity model and berthing and unberthing time is particularly important. Tidal optimization model and algorithm are reflected in the accurate calculation of tides, In order to maximize the use of water depth. Based on the analysis of the existing route selection of Cape ships in the 12.5m deep water channel of the Yangtze River, this paper quantitatively analyzes the existing data from the wharf, anchorage, entry and departure time, etc. The efficiency of navigation and berthing and berthing in the Yangtze River promotes the integrated and high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Yangtze River Delta region.
