Abstract

This paper describes a first approach on the risk assessment in port navigation using the GUIOMAR, an integrated system for port and coastal engineering modelling using a GIS software environment. A set of automatic procedures was designed to include a new methodology based on the amplitude of the wave-induced vertical movement of a ship along its trajectory. In this methodology, the risk in port navigation is assessed on the basis of a combination of the probability of exceedance of a pre-set threshold for the ship’s vertical movements and its consequences. The port of Sines study case was used to test the new procedures.
