Harbor - Ship - Wave Interaction
Generally the problem is not simply the interaction of waves with the harbor, but the interaction of the moored ships with the wave induced harbor oscillations.
For tsunamis, in addition to the direct impact on moored ships there is the effect of the waves on the land-side facilities

Container Ship Mooring in the POLB
• Sealand Terminal 1970
• Note ship size relative to mooring.
• Note the massive gantry crane.

Pier J : the POLB
• Note three tugs holding ship to wharf.
• 1995

Wave Induced Oscillations in Harbors
• Response of a rectangular harbor (after Ippen & Goda, Lee, J.J.)
• Response of Simplified Navy Basin at the POLB (after Lee, J.J.)

Velocity Response at the Navy Basin Harbor Entrance at the POLB
With respect to mooring considerations, to resist either far-field or near-field generated tsunamis the velocity and/or the velocity response is important.
(after J.J. Lee)
