Sea State Effects
2 m clearance provides adequate operating envelope even for elevated sea states
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.
