Answer
A- It refers to seawater that travels over the weather Deck of a ship without any w waves breaking
- This condition occurs when the se ea water comes onto the ship’s Deck, creating so o called “GreenSeaLoads”.
-
Green Sea Load represents the
pressures & forces exerted by the water that wa shes over the bow or the
Deck of the ship.
This load depends on wave e height, ship speed & ship type & estimation involv ves complex modeling,
where the behavior of wav ves on the ship Deck can be described using mod dels like flooded waves.
This concept is linked to saf fty regulations & class requirements to ensure ships a re structurally capable of
withstanding these loads in s severe sea conditions.
These loads can affect ship p motions & the structural integrity of the vessel.
This is imp. for ship design & & safety assessment especially when Deck wetness s occurs frequently in rough
seas.
