A Study on the New Development of Super Rudder (Woo) Controlling Method

Super Rudder(Woo) 조선법의 신기술개발에 관한 연구

The new flexible controlling method integrated with some existing maneuvers of reducing a great head way during approaching a pilot station or anchor berth, namely , Super Rudder (Woo) controlling method originally was developed. The conclusions of this paper are drawn. 1) Super Rudder (Woo) controlling method has the shortest distance along base course and distance off base course among all reducing maneuvers including Rudder Cycling. 2) This new method is flexibly adjustable to a range of yaw angles 5-35 degrees either ship's side depending on traffic situations, 3) This new method is versatile controlling maneuver enabling shipandlers to reduce or stop a ship's headway and to adjust the proper courses to a pilot station or anchor berth.
