A study of two-way sailing at the second entrance of Kaohsiung port / 高雄港第二港口雙向航行之研究

碩士 / 國立高雄海洋科技大學 / 航海科技研究所 / 97 / The purpose of the present study is to propose the possibility of two-way sailing at the second entrance of Kaohsiung port to ensure the safe passage of two small-scale vessels through the waterway, so as to reduce the waiting time of inbound and outbound vessels. First, we collect the global references of two-way sailing and according to present channel width and depth to perform a series of information using vessel parameters such as width, draft, to establish preliminary framework of skill application under the various weather condition. Then, using questionnaires, we collect the idioms of pilots and consult with captains to modify the former results regarding the two-way sailing at the second entrance of Kaohsiung port. Finally, we also confirm the feasibility of the two-way sailing through the waterway by using ship-handling simulator to provide the feasible project with academic aspects.
Overall, the results presented in this study for the safe passage of two vessels through the second Kaohsiung port support the following major conclusions. First, we confirm the feasibility of the two-way sailing for a situation in which the gross tonnage of two vessels is smaller than 1000 GT under the good weather condition. Second, for a given value of two vessels gross tonnage is smaller than 5000 GT; two vessels can meet at the outer channel and the inner channel as well as the turning basin. However, it is forbidden for two vessels meet at the breakwater and the signal station. Third, two vessels can meet through the second Kaohsiung port for one vessel gross tonnage is smaller than 5000 GT and another one is smaller than 20000 GT. It is also requested for good communication between two excellent pilots while two vessels meeting in the second entrance of Kaohsiung port. If the above mentions are satisfied, two vessels can meet only at the outer channel, the inner channel and the turning basin. The results presented in this study provide useful guidelines to improve both the voyage safe and efficiency of the ships for offering government a reference in regarding with the two-way sailing at the second entrance of Kaohsiung port.
