Required parameters of approach fairways to the port of Świnoujście in the context of planned investments

The paper defines the safe depths and widths of the approach fairways to the port of Świnoujście. These are the parameters that will enable the implementation of the planned investments for the port of Świnoujście.1. INTRODUCTION
The port of Świnoujście is located at the mouth of the Świna Strait into the Pomeranian Bay, with geographical coordinates of φ 53°55.0’N and λ 14°17.0’E, respectively. The fairway to the port of Szczecin passes through the port. The port serves as a transshipment base for bulk cargo, containers, and general cargo. A large ferry terminal is located in the port (connections to Sweden and Denmark). Ships with a maximum length of 270 m and a draft of 13.2 m can be brought into the port. The port includes the area of the Świna Strait from the mouth to the Barkowy Basin in Karsibór, as well as adjacent areas and water bodies. The entrance is protected by two breakwaters: the eastern one – 1400 m long, and the western one – approximately 300 m long.
There are three turning basins in the port – Northern (diameter 370 m), Southern (diameter 320 m), and Mielińska (diameter 420 m).
A waterway passing through the Pomeranian Bay leads to the port of Świnoujście. (…)
