Recent accidents of crude oil tankers have resulted in sinking, grounding of vessels and significant levels of marine pollution. Therefore, International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been strengthening the regulations of ship maneuvering performance in MSC 137. The evaluation of maneuvering performance can be made at the early design stage; it can be investigated numerically or experimentally. The main objective of this paper was to investigate the maneuvering performance of a VLCC due to the increase of rudder force at an early design stage for low speed in shallow water conditions. It was simulated in various operating condition such as deep sea, shallow water, design speed and low speed by using the numerical maneuvering simulation model, developed using MMG maneuvering motion equation and KVLCC 2 (SIMMAN 2008 workshop). The effect of increasing the rudder force can be evaluated by using numerical simulation of turning test and ZIG-ZAG test. The research showed that, increasing the rudder force of a VLCC was more effective on improving the turning ability than improving the course changing ability especially. The improvement of turning ability by the rudder force increasing is most effective when the ship is sailing in shallow water at low forward speed.

조종운동(操縱運動)의 정확(正確)한 예측(豫測)이 절실(切實)하게 요구되는 항만내(港灣內)에서의 조종운동(操縱運動)과 같이, 저속(低速)이며 또 천수역(淺水域)에서의 선박(船舶)의 조종운동(操縱運動)을 잘 표현(表現)하는 수학(數學) Model은 아직 얻어지지 않고 있는 것이 현재까지의 실정(實情)이라 할 것이다. 일본의 Kose는 저속시(低速時) 선체유체력(船體流體力)의 새로운 Model을 제안(提案)한 바 있으나 아직 그 유용성에 대해서는 다방면(多方面)에서 검토(檢討)가 필요(必要)하다고 할 것이다. 본(本) 논문(論文)은 이러한 현실(現實)에서, 우선 저속시(低速時)의 Hull 유체력(流體力)을 잘 표현(表現)할 수 있는 새로운 방법(方法)을 모색하여 이를 Kose의 Model이나 종래(從來)의 M.M.G.Model 또는 Cross-Flow Drag Model등과 비교하여, 저속시(低速時)의 선체(船體)에 작용(作用)하는 유체력(流體力)을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 Model을 개발하려고 한다. 수학(數學) Model의 우열(優劣)을 판정하는 방법으로서는, 일본의 RR-742부회(部會)에서 실험한 저속시(低速時)($f_n={\pm}0.06,\;U={\pm}0.3m/s$)의 전후진(前後進)에 대한 Bare Hull의 CMT결과로 얻어진 전후력, 횡력, 선회모멘트를 Data로 삼아 이들을 각각 Kose Model, Cross-flow Model, MMG Model 및 신(新) Model에 의하여 Fitting하고, Fitting의 표준편차(標準偏差)를 비교하였다.

FPSO and shuttle tanker are connected to each other by a mooring hawser and a loading hose through which cargo oil is off-loaded. Even in mild sea-state. environmental loads can cause unstable large drift motions between two vessels in tandem off-loading operations, which may result in collision incidents. Accordingly. the analysis on the relative motion between two vessels due to the environmental loads should be investigated in initial design stage. In this study, the low speed maneuvering equation is employed to simulate nonlinear motions of FPSO and shuttle tanker. Low frequency wave drift forces including hydrodynamic interactions between two vessels are evaluated by near field approaches. Current loads are determined by mathematical model of MMG and wind loads are calculated by employing the wind spectrum according to the guidelines of API-RP2A. Mooring forces produced by turret mooring lines and a flexible hawser are modeled quasi-statically by catenary equations. The effect of environmental loads that affect nonlinear motion is investigated through variation in their magnitudes and the nonlinear motions between FPSO and shuttle tanker are simulated under wave, current and wind in time domain.
