Świnoujście is a Polish seaport located on the Pomeranian Bay, on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea island
of Usedom and Wolin. The port is situated in the Świna Strait in Świnoujście, Western Pomerania. The harbor
consists of a cargo handling quay, passenger terminal and marina. The seaports of Świnoujście and Szczecin
are closely linked economically to form a team and are connected by a passage through the Szczecin Lagoon.
All big ships directed to Szczecin have to be routed through the port of Świnoujcie. The hydro-meteorological
conditions in the Świnoujście Port area and surroundings, affecting safe maneuvering of ships, are analyzed by
statistical methods. The conditions studied, with the aid of Port Captain logbook, are: currents, winds, water
level, ice conditions and visibility. The statistical distribution of water level was analyzed and proposed as
decision-making tool during a ship’s approach to Świnoujście Port.
