Abstrakt: The proper functioning of container port operations is strongly influenced by wind and oceanic weather conditions, creating challenges for both port safety and efficiency. This article provides a comprehensive review of the impact of wind on container port operations, addressing current technologies, implemented strategies, and future perspectives to mitigate these effects. Previous studies examining how wind affects various port activities, such as container handling, vessel berthing and unberthing, and the mobility of cargo-handling equipment, are reviewed. Additionally, technological solutions such as advanced mooring systems and computational simulations, which help minimize wind-related disruptions, are explored. Operational strategies, including weather-based planning and the integration of climate forecasts, are also examined. Finally, opportunities for future research to enhance the resilience and efficiency of port operations in windy conditions are highlighted, emphasizing the importance of adapting to local weather patterns and implementing innovative approaches to optimize port management in adverse environments.
