Beckett Rankine's Discussion Paper on Berting Velocities and Brolsma's Curves. (PDF, 3.1MB)

This document started life as an internal Beckett Rankine design note but we have made it public as it is important that all designers of marine structures are made aware of the deficiencies in BS 6349 Pt4 that the paper exposes. We are pleased that both PIANC and BSI are now working on updates to their guidance on berthing velocities.
