The article “Cruise ship piers: the Botafoc (Ibiza) experience and the wind challenge” has been published in the magazine Ingeniería Civil, issue 184/2016.

The article, written by Eloy Pita, Antoni Ginard (from the Balearic Islands Port Authority), and Víctor Martínez Pés, analyzes the existing singularities in studies of berths for cruise ships, whose large “sail” area generates enormous mooring tension due to wind action transmitted to the pier structure through the bollards, proposing several solutions in this regard.
