Ferry Landings

MAADI Group designs and manufactures your ferry landing or maritime structures according to national and international design codes. Our strong background in the shipbuilding and ship design industries puts us at the forefront to engineer any maritime structures. We are able to provide full engineering services for your project

Evaluation of mooring and anchoring loads

Mooring loads comprise those loads imposed on a maritime structure by a vessel tied up alongside, both through contact between the vessel and structure or its fendering system, and through tension in mooring ropes. Mooring loads in harbors and sheltered anchorages are principally caused by winds and currents. We can design your floating structure anchoring system in shallow or deep waters in order to sustain any wind or current velocities.

Evaluation of berthing loads

In the course of berthing a vessel, loads will be generated between the vessel and the berthing structure from the moment when contact is first made, until the vessel is finally brought to rest. The magnitude of the loads will depend not only on the size and velocity of the vessel, but also on the nature of the structure, including any fendering, and the degree of resilience they present under impact.

Evaluation of gravity loads, buoyancy and static stability (Naval Architecture)

Live load includes the loads specified by maritime codes for various uses (restricted or unrestricted access) and occupancies of the floating structure. These specified loads cover the occupants and any movable equipment. Dead load includes self-weight of the structure and its services such as electrical cables and water supply. Minimum buoyancy is what makes the maritime structure continue to float in water when fully loaded. A maritime structure is stable when it floats upright in still water and returns to its initial upright position if given a slight, temporary deflection to either side by some external force.
