SIMULATION OF VESSEL ENCOUNTERS IN CONFINED WATERS

An existing analog three-dimensional, vessel maneuvering model was modified and reprogrammed in digital form. Results of program are compared with analog runs and full-scale trials. The model is then exercised over a number of possible vessel encounters. Results indicate the desirability of full forward throttle in close-in maneuvers and of coordination of maneuvers.
