Simulator (STS) to perform a navigation study to assist APTIM Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc. This project was used to help with the evaluation of a channel modification alternative for barge traffic transiting the Houma Navigation Canal (HNC) Lock Complex (TE-113) near Dulac, Louisiana. The study considered the impacts to navigation associated with the addition of a lock structure adjacent to the existing floodwalls and 250-foot swing gate flood control structure (The Bubba Dove flood gate) on the HNC. The CHL STS is a real-time simulator, which means there is not a time scale and events on the simulator happen at the same rate as real life. A variety of environmental forces act upon the ship during the simulation transit (e.g., currents, wind, waves, bathymetry, and ship-to-ship interaction). Ship simulation testing of the project was conducted at CHL over a 2-week period from January through February 2019. The simulations involved a 1,200-horsepower towboat with a 6-pack barge configuration in loaded and ballast conditions. Results in the form of track plots and pilot questionnaires were reviewed to develop final conclusions and recommendations.
