Title: A NEW APPROACH TO DEVELOPING SHIP MANOEUVRING STANDARDS
Abstract: Ship manoeuvrability has been at the forefront of research interest for many years but reliable quantified interpretations of ship manoeuvring capabilities are far from established. Addressing the problem, this paper presents the findings of recent research at Strathclyde University's Marine Technology Centre (SMTC), where the development of manoeuvring standards has been tackled by adopting a dynamic systems approach. By means of this approach distinct manoeuvring characteristics have been identified that can be used as measures of manoeuvrability and hence propose objective manoeuvring standards. The credibility of the overall approach is demonstrated by considering its practical application.
