A real-time ship simulation study of the proposed design for deepening the Entrance Channel and Fishermans Channel in Miami Harbor, Florida, was made. The purpose was to determine whether deeper draft containerships could enter the harbor safely. The study showed that even with bend easements in certain critical areas, the deeper/heavier proposed ships would have difficulty entering the harbor under certain wind and tide conditions. Tidal current data for the simulation were obtained from a numerical model and were supplemented with prototype measurements.
