Description: Adverse weather refers to meteorological conditions that can be dangerous for navigation, affecting the safety of vessels and the efficiency of port operations. These conditions include phenomena such as storms, strong winds, dense fog, high waves, and extreme temperatures. Adverse weather can cause delays in the arrival and departure of ships, as well as the need to implement additional safety measures. Reduced visibility and rough seas complicate vessel maneuvering, increasing the risk of accidents. Furthermore, adverse weather can impact the loading and unloading of goods, leading to economic and logistical losses. Therefore, it is crucial for ports and vessels to have weather monitoring systems and safety protocols in place to properly manage these situations. Anticipatory planning and rapid response capability are essential to minimize the negative impacts of adverse weather on port operations.
