Analyzes forces in mooring lines fastening large Naval and commercial ships alongside piers subjected to heavy weather from any direction. Calculates mooring line tension and factors-of-safety based on mooring line breaking strength. Calculates forces applied to pier fixtures and ship chocks. A six-degree-of-freedom math model is used allowing ship movements and rotations in three-dimensional space!surge sway heave roll pitch and yaw. Accepts wind water and tidal disturbances. "odels mooring lines with multiple parts and user-specified elasticity. Contains tabulated values of mooring line properties for steel and synthetic ropes. #rovides representative values of hull and superstructure sail areas and wind and water forces. $enders camels floats and other ship offsetting devices are taken into account. Contains an optimization routine which finds the optimum docking location of a ship alongside a pier. %e&uires less than one hour to input data and get results.
