During this 3 month internship, I work on the Ropes JIP. Ropes is a newly devoloped program that can be used to calculate forces on a moored ship when another vessel passes. Deltares performs part of the model tests that are used for the validation of the program, focussing on ships moored in complex harbour geometries. More information can be found on the Deltares website:   http://www.deltares.nl/nl/actueel/nieuwsbericht/item/14809/modeltesten-voor-veiliger-haven?highlight=JIP Ropes
