11. SIGNIFICANT WEATHER FEATURES

Prevailing wind is from the north to NE (Bora) or south to SE (Jugo) during the winter and
westerly (Maestral) or north to NNW (Tramontana) during the summer. Tramontana winds are
considered to be dangerous due to sudden and strong winds. They can occur at any time but
are most common during the late summer or early autumn. Tramontana winds are associated
with the passage of cold fronts over the Alps and may be accompanied by line squalls and
thunderstorms. Wind speeds of 40-60 knots are possible, lasting 1-3 hours and then calming
and becoming NE'ly.

NOISE REDUCTION
Concern for environment is a constituent part of Luka Koper management policy and organisational
culture. In the last years Luka Koper put a lot of effort especially in activities aimed to the reduction of
noise emissions from port operations. Based on experience and cooperation with ship-owners and their
local representatives (shipping agents), Luka Koper have made a selection of good practices that limit the
spread of noise from ships towards urban areas. Therefore, in order to maintain good relations with the
nearby residents of the port, vessel's masters are requested by following the instructions below:
̵ keep the emergency room hatches closed to limit noise emissions from the engine room,
̵ if possible, keep in service during mooring those 'generators located on the side of the ship facing away
from urban areas,

• SPECIFIC FOR RO RO SHIPS:

- adjust operating parameters of ventilation systems,
- reduce ventilation systems during evening and night,
