Recent years have seen a great deal of innovation in all areas of the maritime sector including that of vessel mooring systems and since 1914, research has been carried out into the possibility of developing alternative mooring systems. This is an automatic vacuum-based mooring system. The feasibility of the implantation of the system in a given port depends on technical factors (winds, currents, type of vessel) and economic factors (investment, operating costs, traffic flows). The aim of this work is to determine the viability of the implantation of the system in a commercial port. The technical viability will be analyzed using a real-time maneuver simulator. The economic viability will be analyzed starting from the determination of the traffic threshold which would make the investment profitable and the traffic flows of the selected port. The aim is to establish a general procedure and then apply it to the Port of Santander.
