Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles
Containing many illustrations, examples and exercises, this book covers all aspects of marine hydrodynamics and all types of high-speed marine vehicles.

Chapter 10: Maneuvering
10.1 Introduction
High standards for maneuverability are required for high-speed vessels to operate, particularly in congested areas, where emergency maneuvers may be necessary to avoid collisions. An important aspect is training of personnel who operate the vessels. A maneuvering simulator is then a useful tool. This requires mathematical models that reflect the very different physical features of the various categories of high-speed vessels. The maneuvering characteristics of a vessel are documented in terms of turning circle maneuver, zigzag (Z) maneuver and crash astern test. The IMO (International Maritime Organization) maneuvering criteria from 2002 for ships longer than 100 m are described in Table 10.1.
