STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Form Drag of a Vessel: 0.15 Kilonewton --> 150 Newton (Check conversion here)
Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Vessel Beam: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Vessel Draft: 1.68 Meter --> 1.68 Meter No Conversion Required
Average Current Speed: 728.2461 Meter per Hour --> 0.202290583333333 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Angle of the Current: 1.15 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_{c, form} = F_{c, form}/(0.5*ρ_water*B*T*V_c^2*cos(θ_c)) --> 150/(0.5*1000*2*1.68*0.202290583333333^2*cos(1.15))

Evaluating ... ...

What is Mooring in Shipping?

Mooring is a procedure to anchor the ship to a fixed or floating element and keep it connected during loading or unloading operations. Safe mooring must withstand several forces, such as wind, the current, the tide and waves.

What is Mooring Load?

Mooring loads often govern the required lateral load capacity of a pier or berth structure. Mooring hardware and equipment are normally rated for a safe working load based upon allowable stresses and/or manufacturer's testing that should not be exceeded.
