Marine Aspects of a Baja California LNG Terminal Development
Publication: Ports 2007: 30 Years of Sharing Ideas: 1977-2007
Abstract
The comprehensive study performed to develop long-term, site-specific shallow water wave hindcasts at a Baja California LNG terminal is described. These hindcasts were developed at specific locations around the terminal, which allowed for the evaluation of breakwater/no breakwater alternatives, calculation of extreme waves for breakwater design, breakwater layout optimization from the standpoint of wave agitation at the berth, and the determination of the long-term impact of the terminal on shoreline changes.
