Description

The course aims to establish baseline of information & awareness of the principles of vessel maneuvering for cadets and provide the student with the ability & skills for the using the ship’s characteristics during maneuvering. The course also provides The Background Knowledge to Support:rnThe Particular of the ship (ship’s particulars) – The Effect of Maneuvering in different situations (Speed, R.H.P, L.H.P, Squat…) – Sailing in Shallow water – Maneuvering when approaching a pilot vessel or station with due regard to weather, tide head reach and stopping distance – Berthing and unberthing under various conditions of wind and tide, with or without tugs – Anchoring, Lightening at sea – Managing and handling of ships in heavy weather – Determining maneuvering and engine characteristics of major ships types with special reference to stopping
