MIKE 21 Mooring Analysis
Optimise your mooring strategies while minimising risks
MIKE 21 Mooring Analysis (MA) is specialised software that ensures port mooring safety and operational efficiency by assessing the dynamic effects of wind, currents, and waves on vessels and floating structures. The software's real-time modelling of vessel motions and wave impacts enables precise mooring analyses and simulations for both single and multi-vessel setups, while accommodating various conditions - even the most severe.
Moreover, MIKE 21 MA sets itself apart with additional features such as the incorporation of infragravity waves and a comprehensive vessel prototype library. These elements elevate its status as the industry standard for mooring analysis, providing port operators with a versatile toolset to tackle diverse challenges.

Areas of application
Climate change resilience and impact
Simulate mooring dynamics under future climate scenarios to support adaptation strategies.
Forecasting and early warning systems
Improve maritime safety with dynamic mooring analyses for faster safety assessments under changing conditions.
Green infrastructure & nature-based solutions
Run advanced mooring simulations to optimise bollards and fenders in real conditions.
Offshore planning, design, and construction
Enhance offshore operations by incorporating ship-to-ship dynamics and environmental data for improved safety and efficiency.
Ship navigation planning support
Improve navigational safety through precise mooring analyses that predicts berth operability and the impacts of port layout changes.
Wave impact assessments
Enhance mooring system designs with comprehensive wave impact assessments that integrate MIKE 21 models to ensure dynamic resilience.
'We use MIKE 21 MA for studying the operability of our port in a new imported fuel project. It has the best capability to model the mooring system design, especially the ship motion analysis and force in the mooring lines. MIKE 21 MA with MIKE 21 HD FM forcing is easy to use and set up with a friendly user interface.'
