A first approach of the hydrological factors’ influence on the maritime navigation in the Black Sea

Efficient modern navigation is determined, among the other things, by the knowledge of the influence of the main hydrological factors on the movement of the ship, in different sea states. This paper aims to be a first approach on the influence of important hydrological factors such as waves, sea currents, sea level oscillations on navigation in an enclosed sea basin - the Black Sea, with specific physical geographical and hydrographic characteristics.
