MANOEUVRING LARGE SHIPS IN SHALLOW WATER--I
The paper discusses the hydrodynamic forces which act upon a large ship sailing in shallow water. Their effects on the manoeuvrability and control of the ship include a smaller response to a given rudder angle, a shift of the pivoting point aft towards the centre of gravity, a larger turning circle and less reduction in speed when turning. In general a ship becomes more sluggish in shallow water.
