Full scale ship trials were conducted one mile off the coast at Fort Story, Virginia, to both evaluate and determine the feasibility of equipment, procedures and systems for the offshore discharge of containerships including the movement of containers to the shore and across the beach. This exercise was a joint Army-Navy operation. Motions of the containership, unloading vessels, and lighterage were measured. In addition, relative motions between the ships were measured. A Datawell Waverider buoy was used to measure wave height. (Author)
