MANOEUVRING PERFORMANCE OF SHIPS IN CRITICAL CHANNELS

Results of experimental and computer-aided studies are presented relative to a two-phase research programme in which the manoeuvring characteristics of Great Lake ships in critical channels are examined. Results indicate that the ice and shallow waters have significant stabilizing effects on inherent course stability and reduce turning performance to a great extent. Recommendations are given to improve ship-handling performance in critical channels in terms of ship-waterway systems design.
