Barbers Point Harbor, Nighttime Simulation

Abstract

Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor is located on the southwestern side of Oahu, HI. The purpose of this study was to analyze the possibility of nighttime transit into and out of the harbor. Changes in navigational aids as well as the addition of shoreline lighting were tested in the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Ship/Tow Simulator with the assistance of Pilots from Hawaii. For the possibility of nighttime transit to exist, improvements to the navigational aids, as well as improved methods of predicting the currents at the approach, would first have to be implemented.
