We can summarize the
effects of different sea states in this animation for ship speeds from 0 to 6
knots. |
|
These results are
for the side door at a height of 2 meters from the calm waterline. |
|
Sea states vary from
1 to 5. |
|
Sea state 3
corresponds to a significant wave height of 1 meter, while sea state 5 to 3.5
meters. |
|
We can see that a 2
meter clearance provides adequate operating envelope even for elevated sea
states. |
