large ships should only make very small horizontal movements at the berth for efficient loading. This is especially a concern in ports facing the open ocean directly, where high swells at sea can cause harbor oscillations and low-frequency surge motions of the ship. A developed mooring unit, the MoorMaster, which replaces conventional mooring lines is addressed here. The hydraulics of the system have a strong reducing effect on the motions of the moored ship. Measurements have shown that the surge motion of container ships was reduced from an amplitude in the order of 1 metre to an amplitude in the order of 5 centimetres, by using MoorMaster units. In here MoorMaster action is divided to two... 

One of the most significant challenges and issues that port engineers and coastal specialists face in the field of improving port performance is the design and development of hardware systems to enhance the efficiency of loading and unloading operations of ships. These systems need to be designed in a way that reduces the duration of loading and unloading operations of ships and improves the efficiency of cranes. One efficient technology in this field is the Automatic Mooring Systems, which are connected to the hull of berthed ships and use hydraulic cylinders to generate control forces. On the other hand, as evident in today's world, artificial intelligence is recognized as a vital and key...
