Abstract

Mooring troubles due to moored ship motions in a harbour facing the open sea are very serious problem from the point of view of the port operation. Some studies about a wave prediction are carried out, however, the accuracy of the prediction isn't still enough exact, especially in case of a rapid wave growth at stormy weathers. In this study, we focus on a harbour facing the Pacific Ocean, and research on mooring troubles which are happened in 1997-1998. Furthermore, observed wave data by NOWPHAS system and typhoon data are analyzed. Thus, we consider the relations among mooring troubles, observed wave conditions, and typhoons from the point of view of the mooring criteria.
