This article is about the phenomenon in ship movement. For telephone and domain slamming, see Slamming (disambiguation).

Slamming is the impact of the bottom structure of a ship onto the sea surface. It is mainly observed while sailing in waves, when the bow raises from the water and subsequently impacts on it. Slamming induces extremely high loads to ship structures and is taken into consideration when designing ships.[1]
