Determining Port Wind Limiting Conditions for Safe Maneuvering and Berthing
This paper examines the influence of lateral wind forces on ferry operations within the port of Gazenica, situated on the Croatian Adriatic coast. Utilizing wind data collected from May 2017 to June 2024, the study identifies southeasterly (SE) winds as the most critical factor affecting ferry maneuverability due to their frequency and intensity. The research assesses wind-induced forces on three specific ferries—
