The manoeuvring performance of a ship in shallow water is substantially different from its
performance in deep water, attributed to shallow water effects caused by the presence of a
finite water depth. Without a doubt a ship will navigate in areas of shallow water at various
times during its operational life (such as when approaching harbours or ports), which
underscores the importance of understanding the shallow water effects on ship
manoeuvrability. In the present paper, the manoeuvrability of the KRISO Container Ship …
