Seakeeping refers to the behavior of a vessel in response to the sea conditions it encounters. It encompasses how well a ship can operate in various types of sea states and how comfortably and safely it can maintain its mission profiles, such as transportation or military operations. Seakeeping assessments consider factors like the ship's motion (pitch, roll, heave, yaw, etc.), stability, maneuverability, and the effects of waves and wind.
