ASCE COPRI Seattle Chapter Monthly Dinner Meeting - Nov 19, 2015

Topic: Introduction of New ASCE Manual of Practice (MOP), Mooring of Ships to Piers and Wharves

The new manual of practice for mooring of ships to piers and wharves will be introduced at the November ASCE/COPRI meeting. ASCE Mooring analysis task committee has put forth an effort for over 12 years to publish this manual to provide general guidance to determine forces acting upon waterfront facilities due to berthed vessels and to provide background to safe and efficient fixed mooring design practice. The ultimate goal is to provide vessels with a "safe berth" with adequate and sound mooring structures and arrangements.
