In this report a mathematical model is formulated which is sufficiently accurate to describe the typical behavior of a ship berthing to a vertical quay-wall fitted with fenders as well as to determine the response of the fenders themselves. In order to achieve this a three-dimensional set of governing equations is drawn up by which the lateral transient motions of shiplike bodies nearby a closed wall with a vertical front can be described adequately.
