A non-linear model was used to analyze risk in port operations based on the spectral propagation of long waves plus short waves inside the Port of Gijon (Spain). Firstly, the difference between regular and irregular wave simulations was considered. Then, irregular short wave propagation inside the harbor was compared with two different combinations of short and long waves. Finally, taking into account the wave heights that limit operations, the periods of inactivity due to waves have been evaluated for every dock.
