SIMULATION OF BALLAST TRANSFER FOR PONTOONS

Andrei HALUS, Irina SEVERIN, Nicoleta ACOMI

Abstract


The article is aiming to compare the efficiency in time of the draft balance of a RO-RO pontoon, the adjustment of the draft being done with a pump or a compressor. Currently, pontoons are being built with ballast tanks and the loading/unloading system uses a pump that deals with this. This comparison will be made in the operation of ballasting, de-ballasting, and transfer. All operations simulations will be performed using PipeFlow software in order to compare and assess seawater tanks, tubing, pressures, flows etc. The results of the research provide information for improving the operational efficiency of the use of the port infrastructure during the loading/unloading operations that involve the existence of a pontoon.
