Siport21 assesses the risk of grounding or collision in port areas

Jan 2020

Presented during the Workshop on Ship Collision Risk Assessment in Denmark
The port-maritime engineering company, Siport21, presents a methodology for the assessment of nautical risk in port areas which allows to estimate the probability of grounding or collision of the vessels in these areas.

This methodology, already used in port areas of Port Qasim (Pakistan), Açu (Brazil),…

AIS data in navigable areas design to reduce riskiest zones

Nov 2019

Presented in XVI ATPYC Young Professionals Conference
When AIS Data are included in the optimization of navigable areas, it is possible to reduce the riskiest areas to navigation, according to the methodology applied by Siport21. This methodology was presented in XVI ATPYC Young Professionals Conference.

Traditionally, AIS data are used during maritime works, accident investigations, manoeuvres analysis…

Siport21 becomes a member of PIANC WG to update guidelines for the design of fender systems

Apr 2019

Marine fenders are a critical component in maritime infrastructure, absorbing the energy of vessels during berthing and while moored, and protecting both vessels and berth structures from damage. For this reason, their performance and correct selection are of paramount importance.
In 2002, PIANC published a guideline for the design of fender systems. This guide will be…
