Abstract

This paper presents the results of an investigation for the manoeuvrability of an oil tanker with an open stern, placing emphasis on course-keeping ability. Hull forces are discussed by comparing results of force measurement tests with estimations obtained using the usual estimation formulae. Simulations were made for typical ship manoeuvring motions, and compared with full scale trials. Through this investigation, it may be concluded that the effects of stern configuration on the ship manoeuvrability could be significant, especially for the course-keeping ability of ships with full hull form, and that those effects should reasonably be reflected in the hydrodynamic force estimation for accurate prediction of the manoeuvrability of such a full ship with an open stern.
