If the sea is moderate outside ports, during the passenger transfer operations between the cruise boat mooring off and the coasts, as well as between the tender and the coast, protection against swell can be temporarily provided by a pneumatic breakwater integrated either to the cruise ship (DAHET) or to the coastal wharf (ATAP):
DAHET = Swell attenuator device linked to a cruise ship to ease the transfer of passengers: It is a device linked to a cruise ship in order to attenuate locally the swell amplitude, alongside the hull, in the area of transfer of passengers by tenders.
ATAP = Landing pier temporarily self-protected against swell: It is a coastal structure (stable on-pile wharf) that can be implemented outside ports to allow the berthing of tenders and therefore, the landing of passengers.
