This paper presents a stereoscopic vision system developed to measure the motion of rigid bodies in real-time along its six degrees of freedom (6DOF). The idea was to use it in the measurement of the motions of a full-scale oil tanker moored at the oil terminal of the Port of Leixões, Portugal, in the scope of an R&D project. Prior to its installation on site the system was tested and validated in laboratory. F...
The project for the New Cruise Ship Terminal of Leixões was considered in the strategic plan for the development of the Port of Leixões in 2004. The intervention has two parallel objectives: commercial efficiency and urban integration. The intervention foreseen for Leixões South Breakwater is composed of three main parts: harbor intervention, which includes a new berth with 360 m in length, a small craft harbor...
For the new multipurpose terminal of the Port of Leixoes, presently under construction on the inner side of the Leixoes south breakwater, a gravitic type solution was chosen. The solution is based on the superposition of unreinforced concrete blocks, with an innovative and patented geometry – NOREF Blocks. These blocks make possible the construction of an open berthing face (less reflective), which aims t...
Moored ship behavior inside harbors, and therefore the operational and security conditions at a port terminal, does not have a straightforward relationship with the local environmental conditions. Due to the diversity and complexity of the involved phenomena, physical modeling is an essential tool to deal with this kind of issues. After the presentation of the Leixoes Oil Terminal, a brief description of the ma...
The Hydraulics Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering – University of Porto (FEUP) has been recently reequipped (May 2007, with funds from the Project: Financiamento Programático CEHRA1) with a Multi-Element Wave Generation System incorporating Dynamic Wave Absorption (HR Wallingford, UK), which allows the simulation of several kinds of 2D and 3D sea wave states. This way, the wave basin acquired extend...
