“…In their articles, they investigate the effect of the heeling of the ship, the effect of water depth in the transition from medium to very shallow water, the wave forces when maneuvering the ship with effects on the propeller and rudder performance, and the turning ability. For most of their research, they use data obtained during free-running tests in the towing tank in Belgium [46]. Together with Eloot, they are engaged in research into the interactions between the banks, the forces that occur during lightering, the so-called ship to ship operation, and the effects of a muddy seabed on the maneuverability of ships [47].…”

The maneuverability of ships is influenced by several factors, including ship design, size, propulsion system, hull shape, and external conditions such as wind, waves, and currents. The size, shape, and arrangement of the hull, rudder, and propeller are decisive for maneuverability. Hydrodynamic forces such as bank effect and squat significantly impact the maneuverability of large ships in narrow channels. With the increasing trend of building ever-larger ships, the demand to evaluate the maneuvering performance of the ship at the design stage has become more critical than ever. Both experimental and computational methods are used to obtain accurate maneuvering characteristics of vessels. In this study, the methods for predicting ship maneuvering characteristics are analyzed using a systematic review based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). This article contributes to a deeper understanding of the hydrodynamic capabilities of ships and identifies possible future challenges in the field of ship hydrodynamics. The findings inform educators and the shipping industry about the importance of predicting the maneuvering performance of ships, with an emphasis on the education and training of seafarers needed to make timely decisions in critical situations.

“…Note that the speed U s is no longer same as that in straight ahead motion; instead, the maneuvering motion, i.e., the lateral speed v and the yaw rate r, is included. Limited works that take the effect of maneuvering motion into account can be found in Sutulo and Guedes Soares [22], Adnan and Yasukawa [33], Yasukawa et al [34], and Tello Ruiz et al [17]. For the low-frequency maneuvering motion, the speed U s in the seakeeping model can be assumed as slowly varying, thus can be treated as quasi-steady when dealing with the seakeeping problem.…”

“…Wang et al [13,14] carried out direct numerical simulation of course keeping and zig-zag maneuvers for the ONRT ship model in waves using naoe-FOAM-SJTU. There is no doubt that great progress has been made in the mentioned studies with respect to ship maneuvering in waves; however, as described in Skejic [15], the requirement of RANS-based CFD methods concerning the real-time analysis of ship maneuvering in waves still needs to be further fulfilled from the view point of industry applications, not to mention the cases in shallow water, as discussed in Tello Ruiz et al [16,17].…”

The ship’s manoeuvring behaviour in waves is significantly different from that in calm water. In this context, the present work uses a hybrid method combining potential flow theory and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques for the prediction of ship manoeuvrability in regular waves. The mean wave-induced drift forces are calculated by adopting a time domain 3D higher-order Rankine panel method, which includes the effect of the lateral speed and forward speed. The hull-related hydrodynamic derivatives are determined based on a RANS solver using the double body flow model. The two-time scale method is applied to integrate the improved seakeeping model in a 3-DOF modular type Manoeuvring Modelling Group (MMG model) to investigate the ship’s manoeuvrability in regular waves. Numerical simulations are carried out to predict the turning circle in regular waves for the S175 container carrier. The turning circle’s main characteristics as well as the wave-induced motions are evaluated. A good agreement is obtained by comparing the numerical results with experimental data obtained from existing literature. This demonstrates that combining potential flow theory with CFD techniques can be used efficiently for predicting the manoeuvring behaviour in waves. This is even more true when the manoeuvring derivatives cannot be obtained from model tests when there is lack of such experimental data.

In the preliminary design stage, maneuvering assessment is a prerequisite based on IMO regulations. Traditionally, maneuvering assessment activities are conducted using physical boats and pilots. Such practice is tedious; requires more time to complete, suitable weather conditions, and costly. To overcome such obstacles in conducting maneuvering assessments, it may be hypothesized that simulation methods are more efficient. At present, the autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) is a hot topic within the maritime industry. Therefore, this paper shall review the state-of-the-art applications of ASV for maneuvering assessment. Also, the factors that contributed to the impact of ship maneuverability performance are discussed in this paper. Additionally, the safety aspect is also reviewed concerning COLREGS requirements.
