Abstract

Results are presented from a series of full-scale trials to measure the dynamic draught of container ships in shallow water. The measured results are compared with theoretical predictions. The effect of container ship manoeuvring on under-keel clearance is discussed, with particular reference to the increased stern-down trim during turns.
