Abstract
    Ships moored along channels in ports experience forces due to ships passing in the channel, which can lead to breaking of mooring lines or excessive ship motions. A numerical model to predict these passing ship effects is described in this paper. The model, which is based on boundary-integral equations, is validated against model tests for a container ship passing a bulk carrier. The results focus on the effect of quay and channel walls on the forces on the moored ship, and on the non-linear effects of the forces at high (but subcritical) passing speeds.
