<insert text>* Developing and validating a numerical chain consisting of the Boussinesq-type wave propagation model Triton coupled subsequently to Harberth and Quaysim (Van der Molen), creating a method to numerically determine the wave climate at a berth and the response of a vessel moored at that berth.
* Using this numerical model chain to understand and eventually solve the inoperativeness issue at an oil berth in the Port of Leixões, Portugal, caused primarily by low frequency waves.
