Recommendations for the Design of the Maritime Configuration of Ports, Approach Channels and Harbour Basins

1.1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
The Recommendations for the «Design of the Maritime Configuration of Ports, Approach Channels and Harbour Basins»(ROM 3.1) will be applicable in all maritime and port works whatever their type or the use they are designed for. To these effects, Maritime and Port works will be taken as those works, structural elements or earth movements located in maritime or river port areas or in any other maritime-land public domain possession provided they are in a stationary situation when in service, whether fixed orfloating, and Approach Channels and Harbour Basins of the said Maritime and Port works will be taken as all those spaces of water in which ship operations related to maritime or river traffic may be undertaken.

1.2. CONTENT
These Recommendations summarise the criteria necessary for defining, designing and establishing operating criteria for all Approach Channels and Harbour Basins related tomaritime and port works and may be applied to any site regardless of what its local and weather conditions may be. Recommendation 3.1 is structured into 9 parts to cover these aspects, each with the following content: ◆ Part 1. General. Includes the general aspects necessary for correct application and understanding of the recommendations: scope of application, general summary of their content,definitions, units used, notation, symbols and references. ◆ Part 2. General Design Criteria.The different design phases and working hypotheses to be considered in dimensioning Approach Channels and Harbour Basins, the criteria for determining the Useful Lifetime of the different phases, the identification of the elements defining a Navigation Channel or a Harbour Basin, dimensioning criteria, criteriafor assessing the geometrical dimensions and assessment of Accident Cases are defined and delimited. ◆ Part 3. Vessel manoeuvrability characteristics.This chapter analyses all the vessel characteristics which influence their manoeuvrability, whether their geometrical and displacement dimensions or the propulsion systems, engines, propellers, rudders, mooring lines, anchors and cable chains. Themass and inertia characteristic affecting ship motions are also analised. ◆ Part 4. External actions on the vessel.This chapter analyses the effects of wind, waves and current on vessel manoeuvrability, as well as the effect of shallow waters, proximity of banks or interaction with other ships moored or in motion under these manoeuvring conditions. An assessment is also made of external actions...
