Abstract: In relation tothe current development of the sailing modernization and development of yacht ports and marinas are necessary.The preparations process, stages of the design, anal-yses and finally construction of yacht ports is time-consuming and laborious. In the article a statistical analysis of selected design parameters was described. In order to carry out the analysis a database was created based on 210 ports from different regions of the world such as: Europe,
North America, Australia and South Asia. Google Earth was used to obtain the actual values of the analyzed parameters. Most of achieved results was described in the form of tables or graphs.

Keywords: bulk carrier, dynamic UKC, simulation methods, analytical methods, heel,pressure transmitters

Abstract: The paper presents the methodology for determining the components which are related to heel of bulk carrier with one component excluded —the heel of vessel due to waves. The described method was applied to the system, which is dedicated to use in determination of UKC of vessels at the approach to the Port of Swinoujscie. The method includes
deter-mination of heel caused by: draught reading errors, wind,current, tugboats and heel related to vessel maneuvers. To determine heel related to vesselmaneuver 2-stage methodwas car-ried out. The first stage simulation was used to identify the parameters of shipmove-ment. At the second stage, the maximum heel of Bulk Carrier were calculated by using
analytical methods. Presented method was implemented to the item rating under keel clearanceat the approach to the Port of Swinoujscie.

Keywords: port manoeuvering, under keel clearance (UKC), Port of Swinoujscie, Response Amplitude Operator (RAO), UKC Reduction, graphical user interface, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), LNG Vessels

Abstract: The article presents a system for determining dynamic under keel clearance. In order to build a DRWPS system, a mixed model was created based on the analysis of math models. The system includes advisory software for defining the conditions for the entering of large LNG vessels in the context of under keel clearance and software was built to
support the decision-making of operators who are responsible for introducing these vessels to the Port of Swinoujscie.
