The main purpose of dredging is to maintain the required depth of harbors and marine and inland waterways.
Any investment work in port infrastructure should be planned in such a way as to minimize interference with
the port operations and vessel traffic. The research aims to analyze work scenarios involving a proposed dredging
fleet using a Navi-Trainer Professional 5000 navigational and maneuvering simulator connected to the
Transas Navi-Sailor 4000 navigation information system. An analysis performed using these electronic chart
display and information system (ECDIS) simulators allows the operational parameters of the dredging project
to be determined. These parameters include driving time, time taken to fill a TSHD dredger to full capacity,
scale of maneuverability of the dredger within the port area, and determination of the safe distance between
dredging vessels and other ships. The proposed solution may be supplemented with additional computer-based
programs, providing a valuable tool in the research and monitoring of planned and current dredging projects.
