Mark McBride

He is responsible for all studies relating to ship motion and offshore applications, including vessel manoeuvring (which often use HR Wallingford’s Ship Navigation Simulators), ship mooring and port/terminal operations.  He has a degree in naval architecture and a doctorate in port operations simulation, and has managed a wide range of ship and offshore related projects, including many multidisciplinary projects.  In particular, he has worked on numerous studies which have included approach channel, turning circle and manoeuvring area design, berth location, design and ship mooring analyses, and operational simulation studies examining optimisation of transportation networks, berths and storage facilities.
