Ships will be moored more safely at Klaipėda Seaport

At Klaipėda Seaport shipping and mooring will be safer from now on. The first horizontal water flows’ meter installed close to the port entrance will enable dispatchers to receive precise information on the water flows at the total width of the port shipping channel. This information will be forwarded to pilots, so that they could be able to arrange safer and efficient shipping and mooring at the quays of the port.

Klaipėda Seaport is located between the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Melting snow or a heavy fall of rain may cause the surge of Curonian Lagoon water level, thus directing the intense water flow to the Baltic Sea. Also a strong wind may suddenly change the water flow direction. Sometimes it happens that opposite flows of water occur in different parts of the channel.

 

The newly implemented modern horizontal ultrasound meter will enable the Port Authority staff to monitor precisely the water flows and to simplify the movement and mooring of ships at the port.
