Abstract
The Figueira da Foz harbour is located at the mouth of the Mondego River in the West coast of Portugal. Two shore-connected breakwaters that, due to their layout, have a quite poor performance shelter it. In fact, some of the incident waves cause large movements in the ships moored at the general cargo quay. The breakage of mooring lines is a quite common accident there. This paper presents the methodology employed and summarizes the results obtained in both the wave penetration study when the harbour basin is dredged up to –7.00 m C.D. and the study of the wave effects on the behaviour of a ship moored at the general cargo quay.
