A Study on Ship Mooring Status of Training Ships in Ports and Harbors for Emergency Operations of Earthquake and Tsunami Disasters

Abstract

For preparing the emergency operations against earthquake and tsunami disasters, we conducted a questionnaire survey to understand the present ship mooring situation of small and medium size ships, such as training ships and a ship which operates during mainly day time without cargo handling operations. It has been clarified that instant correspondences against tsunami occurred by an earthquake, such as the emergency ship evacuation from the ports, cannot be operated due to a lack of the number of crew members aboard and shortage of the time for the evacuation.
