Solutions to Global Challenges

Power up your port

Streamline operations and boost trade with integrated solutions covering sea, port and land

"MIKE 21 MA has the best capability to model the mooring system design, especially the ship motion analysis and force in the mooring lines. MIKE 21 MA with MIKE 21 HD FM forcing is easy to use and set up with a friendly user interface.

"The NCOS Online system has the potential for significantly reducing opex and capex expenditure."

Keith Gordon, Port of Melbourne

"Using the latest advances in numerical modelling of dynamic response of powered vessels subject to waves, tides, winds and currents, the operational system developed by DHI allows for the forecast and management of the under keel clearances (UKC) of large commercial vessels accessing the Port of Brisbane".

Peter Keyte, Port of Brisbane, Australia
"NCOS Online has given us a better physics-based understanding of the unlocked potential of our port and has been a valuable tool for improving our environmental management."

Keith Gordan, Port of Melbourne
Ports are the global gateway for trade. However, most ports can’t keep up with the world’s growing shipping volumes.
By leveraging new technology, you can make your port operate more efficiently and have less of a negative impact on the environment. Through the unique combination of advanced software technology and expert consultancy recognised by IMO and PIANC, DHI can help you:

DHI was founded by solving a challenging harbour development project almost 60 years ago.
Since then, we've empowered hundreds of harbours, ports and terminals worldwide to make smarter water-related decisions.

What are the constraints of traditional numerical modelling?

Operational safety is at stake when wave movement is high in ports and terminals. As such, port authorities and stakeholders are concerned with wave conditions affecting vessel motions to avoid costly consequences. Moreover, high vessel motions may damage mooring lines, fenders, or even the moored vessels in the port. What if there was a faster and easier way to model waves in ports as compared to existing methods? Continue reading
