Preface Operating new containership designs of sizes over 10.000 TEU is a challenge, even for experienced mariners. Manoeuvring characteristics, behaviour and movements of fl oating objects of such sizes can not simply be referenced linearly to existing vessels. For safe handling and operating these vessels extensive preparation and training is necessary and essential. Theoretical hydrodynamic basics have to be transferred in applicable and practical knowledge to support captains, pilots and offi cers in decision making and shiphandling skills. Exercising these skills in extreme, uncommon but realistic scenarios is of eminent importance and exclusively practicable in a simulator.
Objectives
  • Basic skills: Basic shiphandling theory and hydrodynamics.
    Advanced skills: Practical shiphandling in complex and diffi
    cult situations.
Content
  • Basic and advanced shiphandling theory linked to practical
    applicability and vessels size.
  • Hydrodynamic effects: Bank, suction, channel and vessel
    interaction.
  • Calculation of external forces: Wind, current, bollard pull.
    Propulsion and resistance forces.
  • Operations and precautions in heavy seas.
  • Parametric resonance phenomena.
  • Tug handling.
  • Shallow water and squat effects.
  • Berthing, unberthing, anchoring and mooring operations.
  • Manoeuvring exercises on different large container vessels
    in moderate and extreme conditions.
