In this course you will learn about the interaction effects between ships. You will also learn about the hydrodynamic effect it has on ships and it’s impact on maneuvering. A step by step procedure will be explained on the different stages of interaction and what actions the OOW can take in this situation.
In this course, you will learn about transverse thrust on ships and its effects on ship handling. This will provide practical guidance on how to handle a ship in conditions where transverse thrust is present, such as when maneuvering in narrow channels, docking, or navigating in strong currents. By the end of this course, you …
In this course, you will learn about ship squat, which is the reduction in under keel clearance experienced by a vessel when it moves in shallow water. This phenomenon is a result of the hydrodynamic interaction between the ship’s hull and the water, and it can have significant implications for ship navigation and safety. Throughout …
In this course, you will learn about the concept of pivot point and its importance in ship maneuvering. You will understand how the position of the pivot point is affected by the shape and size of the vessel, as well as the effects of external factors such as wind and current. By the end of …
In this course, you will learn about the bank effect, specifically the bow cushion and suction that occur when a ship navigates through a narrow channel. You will gain an understanding of how the interaction between ship and the bank and how it can can affect their movement and behavior, and how the shape of …
