Ship handling - Scenario 03: Berthing into strong offshore wind - narrow water conditions

2 June 2020

This simulation run demonstrates how to manoeuver a ship to berth a quay in slack water area conditions and with a strong offshore wind which trends to push the ship off the quay. In this situation, the ship should approach the berth at a steep angle and mooring lines are sent to the quay and moored up to bring the ship alongside.

Ship handling - Scenario 02: Berthing starboard side in calm conditions

31 May 2020

This simulation run demonstrates how a ship is handled to berth alongside the quay in calm conditions by a combination of the transversal thrust of the rudder and transversal effects of the right-handed propeller while applying reverse engines.

Shiphandling simulation - Scenario 01: Berthing port side alongside in calm conditions

24 May 2020

Simulation scenario: Berthing port side to a quay in calm conditions with right-handed propeller. Use of the effects of tranversal thrust when the engines astern to swing the stern of the ship to port side and parallel with the quay.
