As a moving ship passes another ship, it exerts forces and moments on that ship. This passing ship phenomenon is of particular concern in the design and analysis of ship mooring systems alongside ship fairways and channels. This paper uses results from several published model tests and analytical studies to develop a method for estimating the forces and moments induced by the passing ship on the moored ship. Published results of earlier studies were difficult to interpret and apply. The new method is easy to use and provides good estimates of the forces and moments imposed by passing ships.
