To improve ship's maneuverability and carry out special goal POD propulsion system was equipped as propulsion and maneuvering system. To predict the maneuverability of a ship with POD propulsion system HPMM tests and POD open water test are carried out. In this paper modular model with 4 degree of freedom of a ship with twin POD propulsion system is presented. To use modular model the forces of POD propulsion system are measured separately from the hull forces. The measured forces and moments are analyzed by using modular model and whole ship model The simulation results of modular model are compared with those of whole ship model. From the present study it is Possible to analyze HPMM tests of a ship with twin POD propulsion system by modular model.

To improve ship's maneuverability high lift rudders like as Schilling rudder, flap rudder etc. were used. To predict the maneuverability of a ship with flap rudder HPMM tests are carried out. To analyze the test results modular model is used. To use modular model the forces of flap rudder must be measured separately from the hull forces. The flap rudder is made as independent system from the hull. To investigate the simulation results of modular model the tests results are analyzed by whole ship model, and simulated. The compared results of simulation show a good agreement except turning test. The reason is the different analysis result of flap rudder drag forces. From the present study it is possible to analyze HPMM tests of a ship with flap rudder by modular model.

Recently, ship maneuverability has been very important issue due to accidents of frequent occurrence at sea. IMO standards for ship maneuverability were applied from January 1, 2004. In this study, maneuverability model tests were considered through a 2m-class KVLCC1 in the Ocean Engineering Wide Tank at University of Ulsan(UOU). Circular Motion Test(CMT) was performed to obtain the maneuvering coefficients by using X-Y Carriage. The trajectories simulated using the coefficients are compared with those of PMM test and free running test.
