  • The IMO manoeuvrability standard was established for preventing sea accidents such as collisions and strandings due to the lack of manoeuvrability. The standard of ship manoeuvrability enforced by resolution MSC.l37(76) has been applied to vessels of 100m or more in length and all chemical tankers and gas carriers regardless of the length, which were constructed on or after 1 July 1994. The IMO manoeuvrability standard is able to be divided into three kinds as followings; (1) Turning capability standard: Estimated values in design stage are to be certified by turning circle test of the actual vessel. (2) Course keeping quality standard : Estimated values in design stage are to be certified by 10 deg. and 20 deg. zig-zag tests of the actual vessel. (3) Shortest stopping distance standard : Estimated value in design stage is to be certified by the shortest stopping distance tested by the actual vessel. In this paper, the authors verified the criteria of IMO manoeuvrability standard comparing them with the values resulted from sea trial tests of various kinds of actual vessels and examined separately the validity of all criteria of the standard.

  • Yaw-checking and course-keeping ability in IMO's ship rnanoeuvrability standards is reviewed from the viewpoint of safe navigation. Three kinds of virtual series-ships, which have different course instability, are taken as test models. The numerical simulation on Z-test is carried out in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability in spiral characteristics and various kinds of overshoot angle. Then simulator experiments are executed with series-ships in a curved, narrow waterway by five pilots in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability and degree of manoeuvring difficulty. IMO criteria for yaw-checking and course-keeping ability are discussed and new criteria are proposed.

  • Yaw-checking and course-keeping ability in IMO's ship manoeuvrability standards is reviewed from the viewpoint of safe operation. Three types of assumed series-ships, which have systematically different instability on course, are taken as tested models. The numerical simulation on Z-test is carried out in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability and various kinds of overshoot angle. Then simulator experiments are executed with series-ships in situation of curved, narrow of waterway by five pilots in order to examine the correlation between known manoeuvrability and degree of manoeuvring difficulty. Three kinds of IMO's criterion concerning yaw-checking and course-keeping ability are discussed and new criteria are proposed.

  • Better prediction of a ship's manouevrabilty in initial design stage is becoming more, important as IMO manoeuvring criteria has been activated in the year of 2004. In the present study, in order to obtain more exact and reliable results for ship manoeuvrability in the initial design stage, numerical simulation is carried out by use of RANS equation based calculation of hydrodynamic forces exerted upon the ship hull. Other forces such as rudder force and propeller force are estimated by one of the empirical models recommended by MMG Group. Calculated hydrodynamic force coefficients are compared with those obtained by empirical models. Standard manoeuvring simulations such as turning circle and zig-zag are also carried out for a medium size Product Carrier and the results are compared with those of pure empirical models and manoeuvring sea trial. Generally good qualitative agreement is obtained in hydrodynamic forces due to steady oblique motion and steady turning motion between the results of CFD calculation and those of MMG model, which is based on empirical formulas. The results of standard manoeuvring simulation also show good agreement with sea trial results.

  • For the more accurate prediction on manoeuvring performance of a ship at initial design phase, bare hull manoeuvring coefficients were estimated by RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) based virtual captive model tests. Hydrodynamic forces and moment acting on the hull during static drift and harmonic oscillatory motions were computed with a commercial RANS code STAR-CCM+. Automatic and consistent mesh generation could be implemented by using macro functions of the code and user dependency could be greatly reduced. Computed forces and moments on KCS and KVLCC 1&2 were compared with the corresponding measurements from PMM(Planar Motion Mechanism) tests. Quite good agreement can be observed between the CFD and EFD results. Manoeuvring coefficients and IMO standard manoeuvres estimated from the computed data also showed reasonable agreement with those from the experimental data. Based on these results, we could confirm that the developed virtual captive manoeuvring model test process could be applied to evaluate manoeuvrability of a ship at the initial hull design phase.
