For the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of ships moored at the offshore terminals under the action of wind waves, the moored ship system may be simplified to be linear. Introducing the transfer function Y..sqrt.. /SUB e/ (..omega..), the impact energy of a moored ship on the terminal resulting from a random sea may be obtained from the spectrum of the ocean waves. Furthermore, by using the directional function of impact Y/sub 2/(..cap alpha..), the directional spectrum of the impact by ships can also be estimated. The results show that there is a significant relationship between the spectrum of the ocean waves and the impact energy of the ship.
