Results are reported of a combined numerical and experimental investigation of the wind loads on a scale model of a passenger/car ferry, as well as a full-scale computation. The ship model was tested in a wind tunnel with a clearance above a board modelling the sea surface; the computations were performed both with and without the clearance. Such details as life boats and masts were omitted in the numerical model to simplify the grid generation. The model tests were carried out both with and without such details.
