Study Notes
Marine Hazards
- Navigating ships requires skill and experience due to various marine hazards.
- Hazards can lead to claims on hull, cargo, and liability insurers.
- Tidal Ranges vary significantly, for example, the Bay of Fundy has a 16m range, while the Mediterranean has little to no variation.
- River Ports require navigating restricted channels, strong currents, and varying depths, which can impact cargo loading.
- Overfalls (tidal rips) occur near land due to sudden depth changes or colliding tidal streams.
- Overfalls can be hazardous for vessels losing power, causing injuries, cargo lashing failures, and increased grounding risk.
- High-Pressure Systems typically bring low winds, clear skies, and droughts, but they can still produce strong winds.
- Katabatic Winds are offshore winds caused by cold air descending from high ground, prevalent in high latitudes with snow-capped mountains.
- These winds can rapidly increase in intensity, posing a risk to small craft and ships at anchor or alongside berths.
- Examples include the Mistral in the Gulf of Lion and the Bora along the Croatian coast.
- Windstorms are intense low-pressure systems with high wind speeds, including hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons.
- These storms occur in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, starting near the equator and typically turning westward.
- Windstorms produce large waves, posing a risk to ships caught in their path.
