Two previous NATO Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) on berthing and
mooring of ships have been held; the first in Lisboa, Portugal in
1965, and the second at Wallingford, England in 1973. These ASls
have contributed significantly to the under standing and
development of fenders and mooring, as have works by Oil Companies
International Marine Forum (1978) and PIANC (1984). Developments in
ship sizes and building of new specialized terminals at very
exposed locations have necessitated further advances in the
combined mooring and fendering technology. Exploration and
exploitation of the continental shelves have also brought about new
and challenging problems, developments and solutions. Offshore
activities and developments have in fluenced and improved knowledge
about both ships and other floating structures which are berthed
and/or moored under various environmental conditions. The scope of
this ASI was to present recent advances in berth ing and mooring of
ships and mooring of floating offshore structures, focusing on
models and tools available with a view towards safety and reduction
of frequencies and consequences of accidents."
