In this paper, one of the harbour manoeuvring tests is described. its goal is to investigate the so-called crabbing performance of ships. By crabbing is meant the ability of the vessel to move sideways with the use of her own manoeuvring devices like propellers, rudders, transverse thruster, etc. The crabbing model tests were carried out in the Ocean Engineering Wide Tank, University of Ulsan(UOU) to measure the transverse forces and yawing moments by the transverse thruster alone and the propeller-rudder arrangement in combination with the bow thruster. The comparison between UOU crabbing test results and data measured at one of foreign research institutes showed a little gap due to different rotating conditions of controllable pitch propellers.

In this paper, one of the harbour maneuvering tests is described. Its goal is to investigate the so-called crabbing performance of ships. By crabbing is meant the ability of the vessel to move sideways with the use of her own maneuvering devices like propellers, rudders, transverse thruster, etc. the 3m ferry model is made by ocean engineering wide tank in the university of ulsan. when the model ship is leaving and going to the quay, Transverse forces and Yawing moments are measured, in the condition of zero longitudinal force and the design draught, by load cell attached to the longitudinal center of gravity on the ship. the purpose of the experiment is to verify the reliability of ocean wide tank in university of ulsan about crabbing test compared with results of foreign research institute.
