How the HELL is that going to work in anything less than perfect weather?

Imagine being on a ship in that tunnel,and having a storm-driven tide forcing water up in that tunnel behind you.

Beats the hell out of me. Since anything that floats is in more danger inside it than they would ever be on the open water,I can't even come up with a wild guess.
