THE SHIP HANDLING SERIES
THE SHIP HANDLING SERIES
Good ship handling is a highly respected skill in the marine world and an important factor in safe navigation. An understanding of the physical principles involved can greatly assist the mariner to become a better ship handler. This series is intended for the practising mariner, outlining the important factors determined from many investigations carried out into the handling of ships.
This film describes some of the effects which influence the ship
during stopping and low speed manoeuvres. The effects are shown in
simple terms using both models and full scale ships.
Forces generated by the interaction of water flow between the
ship's hull,...
This film deals with the effects of wind and waves on a vessel
deprived of her propulsive power, i.e. the disabled ship. If a ship
becomes disabled, can her drift speed and heading be altered to
reduce the risks of grounding?
The video considers the aerodynamic effects...
This film demonstrates the effect of various factors upon the
turning characteristics of ships including the effect of shallow
water, reduction of speed when turning, directional stability when
leaving a turn. Use is made of models, full scale ships and
animated...
