A monitoring system was designed and operated at a coal terminal in Los Angeles Harbor and at a container terminal in Long Beach Harbor. The objective was to obtain the complete six degree-of-freedom response of vessels, as well as the mooring line and fender reactions, to measured longperiod waves. A unique data set was collected on five separate ships. The data will be used to calibrate and verify a numerical, moored ship-motion model. The system design and sample data results are presented. Spectral analysis is used to illustrate relationships between waves and ship response.
