tankers calling at fujairah spm terminals - Port Of Fujairah

Note : Table Wave Climate – FujairahThe report by the University of New South Wales noted that, exceptfor infrequent storms, wave heights are generally low, exceeding 1mfor only 3% of the time. The dominant direction of wave attack duringthe more usual conditions is between east and southeast.It is understood that penetration of south-easterly swell occasionallyoccurs. This swell has been observed at the Northern Breakwater, inparticular adjacent to the junction of the breakwater with the shore.However, on the basis of recent discussions with the Port of Fujairah, itis understood that the observed height of the swell has not exceededapproximately 0.8m. It is therefore considered unlikely to adverselyaffect any except very small vessels.It has been noted by Wimpey, who undertook wave measurements andanalysis at the site in 1981 and 1982, that recorded wind speeds anddirections bore little or no relation to wave heights and directions,which indicates that waves are generated outside the area.ixWIND STATE FROM NOVEMBER TO JUNEI would like to draw your attention on the subject that the “SHAMAL”condition frequently prevails with wind speed in excess of 50 knots,and gusts up to 70 knots.These winds are variable with strong Westerly to North-westerlysqualls lasting up to 2 days. Maximum wind force 10BF mainly 5-6Katabatic winds in late afternoons and evenings.9.
