www.thenavalarch.com launches the Mooring Forces Calculator - Port/Stbd on Quay
This spreadsheet helps user to design a mooring pattern for a ship mooring by its side (Port or Stbd) to the Quay. The spreadsheet is based on the US Navy DDS-582-1 Calculations for Mooring Systems
Calculates the Mooring Line Tensions
Rigorously calculates the environmental forces of wind and current from the graphs provided in DDS-582-1
Immensely useful in Mooring operations
Reports the factor of safety for the resulting mooring forces
It can be used to design for both normal or extreme weather condition

Super sites for sharp bits of string, but no good if snowball hitches are used that melt during the night as happened to me once laid alongside.
Remembering The Good Old days, when Chiefs stood watches and all Torque settings were F.T.
