The paper presents a methodology for designing and optimizing the parameters of reconstructed marine waterways dredged to a certain depth. The reconstruction comes down to a particular deepening and widening of the waterway to permit operation of longer, broader and deeper drawing ships. The methodology, based on a systemic approach to the design and optimization of waterways, uses the method developed at the Marine Traffic Engineering Centre (MTEC), Maritime University of Szczecin and methods of computer simulation. The optimization criterion used is the minimization of the aggregated costs of construction and operation of the waterway and its navigation systems.
The system of port waterways has been defined herein as a composition of three subsystems: approach area (port basin), quay and its equipment, navigational (determination of ship position and speed). Besides, the author defines the state vector of conditions for safe operation of berthing ships. Described are interrelations between parameters of port waterway system and the state vector of safe operation of berthing ships. Differences have been specified between sea waterway systems (fairways, harbour entrances, turning basins, anchorages) and systems of port waterways (port basin, lock).
The system of sea waterways, as defined in this article, consists of three subsystems: waterways, navigational, and traffic control. This author has defined a state vector for conditions of safe operation of ships on a waterway and described interrelations between parameters of sea waterway system and the state vector of safe ship operation conditions.
