This document discusses the calculation of berthing energy for LNG vessels. It provides formulas to calculate the berthing energy based on factors like displacement tonnage, berthing speed, eccentricity coefficient, mass coefficient, and softness coefficient. Eccentricity coefficient is calculated using parameters like distance from center of gravity to point of contact, radius of gyration, and angle. Mass coefficient formulas are provided for broadside and longitudinal berthing. Sample calculations of berthing energy are shown for various LNG vessel types.

3) Berthing Energy Calculation of berthing energy is based on the following formula:
DT 2 Energy = × v × Ce × Cm × Cs (kN-m) 2
Where, DT : Displacement tonnage (ton)
v : Berthing speed (m/s) g : Acceleration of gravity (9.807 m/s2) Ce : Eccentricity coefficient Cm : Mass coefficient Cs : Softness coefficient
Ce can be derived with the following formula:
2 l 1 + Sin 2 θ Ce = r 2 l 1+ r
Where, l = distance from the centre of gravity of the vessel to the point of contact projected along the waterline of the berth (P-CG in above figure) r = radius of gyration of rotational radius on the plane of the vessel from its centre of gravity Where, r = (0.19·Cb + 0.11)·Lpp
When vessel which has a length much greater than its beam or draft, generally for vessel with displacement tonnage greater than 20,000, the additional weight may be approximated to the weight of a cylindrical column of water of height equal to the length of vessel and diameter equal to the draft of vessel, then
π d 2 L pp w Cm = 1 + 4 ( DT )
Where w = unit weight of water (1.025 tonnes/m2 for sea water)
