Manoeuvring and Control Characteristics of Special Type Ships Series of 2 items

In this series of two videos the special-type ship chosen is a Pure Car Carrier (PCC). The series uses this ship type to show the theory and the practice of ship handling. Many of the common problems of ship handling apply in the extreme to the PCC so its choice for use as an example in this series helps in the understanding of basic principles.

The two videos discuss from first principles some of the forces, coefficients and equations which determine the handling of ships. The two features of ship handling described in these videos are:

Part 1 - Focusing on the Wind Pressure Effect on a PCC
Part 2 - Anchoring and Mooring of a PCC
