Abstract [eng] Ship mooring in adverse conditions is very important for ports and terminals, which work with big ships and ships with big wind surface areas what as a result create high hydrodynamic and aerodynamic forces on a ship and quay wall mooring systems. Traditional ship mooring systems are safe, but quay wall mooring systems sometimes are not capable enough depending on inertia and other acting forces, therefore, new solutions for increasing quay wall mooring system capability should be found. The article presents the analysis of complicated ship mooring situations and methods, which can assist to calculate loads, acting on quay wall mooring systems in complicated conditions; the mathematical basis of calculations of ship mooring in complicated conditions and practical recommendations. The suggested methods can be used in many ports and terminals for practical application.
