This paper analyzes the effects of Typhoon "Doksuri" on a bulk carrier in 2023 and explores the countermeasures adopted by the ship in response to the typhoon. Given the uncertainties in typhoon intensity and trajectory forecasts, as well as the potentially destructive impacts, the ship has taken several measures, such as reducing speed, adjusting the route, stopping and drifting, and resuming sailing under safe conditions. These strategies were employed to maintain a safe distance from the typhoon and mitigate the impact of wind and waves on the ship, thereby ensuring the safety of the ship and its cargo. The research indicates that timely and accurate typhoon forecasts, refined weather and ocean conditions forecasts, and precise shore-based meteorological routeing services are critical factors for ships to avoid typhoons effectively.
