Kubla Ports Technical Manual
The user can specify as many design vessels as they require. If more than one design vessel is specified then the design process will be repeated for each one in turn and the most critical vessel will be used to set the channel dimensions. It may be that the channel's width, for example, is set based on the requirements of one design vessel and the channel's depth is set based on another.
The calculations outlined in the following pages are described for a single vessel. If more than one design vessel is specified then these same calculations will be repeated for each one.
