Innovative Mooring in Locks Using Shoretension: Density and Mooring Force Measurements in the North Lock Ijmuiden
A field measurement campaign was conducted in the North Lock of IJmuiden, in which the density distribution in the lock chamber and the resulting mooring forces were measured. The innovative mooring system ShoreTension was applied in a navigation lock for the first time to investigate possible ways to increase safety of the mooring process. Density measurements provided valuable insight in the governing hydraulic processes during levelling and lock-exchange and most influential external drivers for density differences over the lock complex could be identified. Potential benefits and limitations of the ShoreTension system were identified, and valuable practical experience was gained during the test period.
