The request tidal window module can be used to request new tidal windows to approach the Rotterdam or Amsterdam harbor.

Tidal and channel bound ship

Ships that are channel and tidal bounded to approach the harbor or Rotterdam or Amsterdam, need to request a tidal window. This can be done themselves (if they have registered and if they are granted the request rights) but can also be done by an agent or the port authority.

Request tidal window module

The module to request tidal windows is a form that should be filled in with the data needed to guarantee a safe voyage from rendez-vous to the berth. Data is requested on:
  • ship: IMO, name, call sign, type of ship, length and width
  • voyage: berth, ETA
  • load: draft (aft and fwd), dead weight, water displacement
  • specific stability figures: metacentric height (GM), free fluids surface correction (GG') and roll period

The process after submitting

After submitting the form, the request is added to the task list of "to be calculated" advices. As soon as a provider is available, the request will be checked and the process of calculating the tidal window advice starts. This process consists of gathering / correcting forecast data, setting the calculation parameters and starting the calculation. Every step of the process can be followed by the submitter in the status overview.
