meters], rather than for coastal waters,
and waves go through a substantial
change when they move from deep to
shallow water.
"When they do this, they set the
whole harbor in motion, like tipping
water in a cup. This sets all the ships
moving. If this movement is small, it's
not a problem, but if it increases over a
certain threshold.it causes difficulties."
While Sea 21 can't cure this problem,
Stiassnie believes it will help marine
installation operators make informed
decisions. "It allows you to be ready at
the right moment and to plan your
business in a more efficient and safe
way. Loading and unloading schedules
can be rearranged or ships moved. In
turn, this will increase revenues and
reduce losses."
Sea 21 is not an off-the-shelf prod-
uct. "It's not like a computer game that
you can buy from a shop," says
Stiassnie. "You need all the details of the
port, the condition of the harbor, the
sea, the weather, etc. A certain amount
of field work has to be done for the
clients before we can set up the system."
Full-scale development of the project
began 18 months ago. Cameri, which
employs 20 people, used two methods
to come up with its solution: a physical
simulation of the port in question, cur-
rently Haifa, and computer simulation.
For Cameri, the Sea 21 is an ideal
opportunity for it to break into the
international market with a commercial
product. The institute has been running
since 1976, but most of the work car-
ried out there is for the Israeli market.
"This marks a real change in attitude,"
says Stiassnie. "Now we just have to
wait and see if it's going to be successful
or not." ❑
