SHIP MOTION CHARACTERISTICS OF FERRY BY WAVES IN TOMAKOMAI PORT

Abstract

 In ports, breakwater planning against waves should be conducted by the condition of ship motion in suspending cargo loading and unloading, but the characteristic of ship motion is not being sufficiently observed. In this study, the ferry motion by waves in Tomakomai Port are studied and the prediction method of that is proposed. The ship motions are caused by wind waves and long period waves and predicted by wave height and period off the coast.
