The safe operation of linear transmission infrastructure (LIP) laid on the seabed at the intersection with an approach channel depends on the density of ship traffic in that area. The size of the ships will determine the indicators for the safe operation of LIP. One of the key indicators is the probability of violating the safety zone around the LIP. This article will present a method for estimating this indicator as a function of the size of the ships in operation.The safety of operating linear transmission infrastructure (LIP) laid on or in the seabed depends on a number of factors related to the use of the marine area around it. One of the main areas of maritime exploitation is: fishing, offshore mining, and maritime transport. Among the mentioned fields, maritime transport has the greatest impact, particularly in terms of the operation of ships whose size (draft) has a significant impact on the safety of LIP. The impact of ships is greater the smaller the minimum distance between the ship’s hull and the upper edge of the LIP.
The article will present an analysis of the probability of violating the safety zone above the LIP by maneuvering ships. The research example will be the intersection of the LIP with a planned deep-water approach channel to the port. (…)
