【 摘 要 】

The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the stormy weather during hurricane Sandy on an oil tank using the navigation simulator. Meteorological and waves maps from forecast models are used, together with relevant information from the meteorological warnings. The simulation sessions were performed on the navigation simulator from the Constanta Maritime University and allowed us the selection of specific parameters for the ship and the environment in order to observe the ship's behavior in heavy sea conditions. Simulation results are important due to the unexpected environmental conditions and the ship position: very close to the hurricane centre when the storm began to change its track and to transform into an extra tropical cyclone..
