Internship: Safe Mooring of Large Container Ships in Wind

Safe mooring of large container ships has become increasingly more challenging. Do you want to make an impact in your internship and increase safe mooring? Discover the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) and its impact on mooring line forces for large container ships. Dive into research on ship behavior under diverse conditions, from wind speeds to mooring setups. If you're passionate about maritime engineering, join us!

What you do as an Intern

Safe mooring for large container ships (300m or longer, over 9,000 TEU) is becoming more difficult. These ships have a big side wind area, and their high mooring deck levels mean short, steep lines are often unavoidable. This can lead to unsafe mooring situations with high line tensions, risking winch slippage, line snapping, or bollard overloading. As consultants for port authorities and terminal operators, Royal HaskoningDHV studies mooring setups and ship behavior to find ways to make mooring safer. Despite this, some companies still rely on static mooring analysis, which could lead to more unsafe situations as container ships continue to grow in size.

This internship focuses on analyzing the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF), which compares maximum mooring line forces between static and dynamic analyses for large container ships. We'll explore how DAF varies based on factors like ship size, wind conditions, mooring setup, and other parameters, including container stacks and cranes' impact on wind forces.

Where you will work

Royal HaskoningDHV is a worldwide independent engineering, project management and consultancy firm which integrates 140 years of engineering expertise with digital technologies and software solutions. Our 6,000 colleagues are working from offices in more than 25 countries across the world. Through our mission Enhancing Society Together, we take responsibility for having a positive impact on the world.

You will become part of the Advisory Group Resilience & Maritime the Netherlands. This team consists of around 180 colleagues and is based in the Netherlands across three offices (Rotterdam, Amersfoort and Nijmegen). We provide our clients, both private and (semi)governmental, with a range of services throughout the various phases of a project: from inception, through master planning, feasibility, design all the way to construction supervision. We have a strong foothold in the Netherlands but we operate worldwide.

What you will bring

As an ideal candidate, you are enthusiastic about complex and data-driven analyses to enhance safety and efficiency in the maritime industry. You have strong analytical abilities with a keen eye for detail. You can communicate your ideas well. Besides that, the following applies to you:

• Currently studying a Master's degree in a relevant field, such as Civil, Marine or Offshore Engineering
• Language Proficiency: Fluent in English, both written and spoken
• Interested in the difference between a Static and Dynamic Mooring Analysis for large container ships in wind

What we offer you

During your time at Royal HaskoningDHV, you will learn what it is like to work in a consultancy firm. You will be fully part of the team and as such, you are invited to participate in all team activities both project related and social activities. You will also receive a monthly allowance. Additionally:

• Royal HaskoningDHV has a significant track record in DMAs for over 20 years. By working in our office, you can learn much about mooring analysis in port engineering in a short time.
• You will learn how to use engineering software, developed by Marin, that is used in our mooring analyses. We have dedicated workflow for DMAs in place, including cloud computing, pre- and post-processing.
• In our office in Rotterdam, many of our employees in our department are young. You will get the opportunity to learn from their experience of working at an international engineering consultancy firm in port consultancy.
