A STUDY ON THE SAFETY EVALUATION OF SHIP MANOEUVRING IN PORTS - AN INTRODUCTION OF SHIP HANDLING SIMULATOR STUDIES IN TAIWAN

The state of the art in ship handling simulator applications for manoeuvring safety studies in Taiwan is reviewed and a procedure is proposed for real-time simulation based on the concept of elemental manoeuvres and the development of a manoeuvring plan. Case studies of methods of evaluating manoeuvring difficulties and its safety are described. The results are as follows: (a) Although it is difficult to determine the critical value of indices showing the difficulty of each manoeuvre under complicated environmental conditions, a practical solution is to evaluate the difficulty by taking into account the subjective opinion of the ship handlers together with the objective indices studies. (b) To have a more objective evaluation of manoeuvring safety in a port, it is recommended that assessments of difficulty and safety are carried out.
