EFFECT OF SHIP INHERENT CONTROLLABILITY ON PILOTED PERFORMANCE: EVALUATION AND PREDICTION

This report describes the development of statistical formulas relating ship controllability indices to measures of piloted performance. These formulae contribute to a methodology for the evaluation or prediction of risk in a waterway from the characteristics of user traffic. During this experiment, 7 commercial ships, ranging in size from 33,000 to 250,000 deadweight tons made multiple runs through narrow channels under comparable conditions. The application of new procedures to the Coast Guard's waterway design process is discussed.
