ANÁLISE DE COMPORTAMENTO DE EMBARCAÇÕES NO COMPLEXO ESTUARINO DE SÃO MARCOS, À VISTA DE UM LOCAL PORT SERVICE

Abstract

There are many variables involved in navigation processes. It is of fundamental importance that they are known and that they are aware of their degree of influence on deviations that violate international maritime standards and good seamanship practices. The present work aims to analyze the behavior of vessels destined for the Ponta da Madeira Maritime Terminal (TMPM) after arrival at the access channel, and will seek to find a pattern that leads to the materialization of occurrences that pose a risk to navigation. For this to happen, it is necessary to understand the production process in a comprehensive way, bringing the characteristics of the São Marcos Estuarine Complex (CESM), its climatic aspects through the survey of meteoceanographic data (tides and currents), in addition to factors intrinsic to the activities that are most often not observed, such as particularities of shipowners, vessels and crews. The work will show the global relevance of TMPM, highlighting the need for favorable conditions for servicing ships, always aiming for safety and minimizing risks. From the perspective of a Local Port Service (LPS), a technological maritime monitoring system, assessments will be prepared, which if well interpreted, may generate not only reactive actions, but of a preventive and continuous nature, such as the review of procedures for work on the main weaknesses and promote continuous improvement.
