Navigation Simulation Services Jetty Extension

Main Banner

As part of a joint engineering design and maritime proving project, a navigation simulation study was used to establish maritime safety risk for vessels berthed on – and vessel traffic passing – the conceptual jetty extension in the port of Lagos.

CARES Group Maritime Division was commissioned:

  • To examine and provide simulation evidence whether a 33m jetty extension into the Badagry Channel will impact on channel access, maritime safety risk and safe navigation for berthed and passing vessels.
  • Assessment criteria included: Ship-to-ship and ship-to-bank interaction (longitudinal and lateral force levels); aspects of general channel navigation; ‘enabling activities’; and a review of Aids to Navigation.
