Function 1: Navigation at operational level

Competence No. 9: Manoeuvre the ship

Detailed Teaching Syllabus


Manoeuvre the ship

Lectures Teaching Method Teaching


(Hours) Material
1. The effects of various deadweights, draughts, trim, speed and
under-keel clearance on turning circles and stopping distances
1. outlines the provision and display of Manoeuvring Information of the ship
2.defines the terms :
- advance
- transfer
- drift angle
- tactical diameter T-9, T-10
- track reach L (3.0) T-17,
- head reach
- side reach
- turning circle
3. compares the turning circles of a ship in the loaded and ballasted conditions
1. compares turning circles for differing speeds & for different hull forms
2. describes the accelerating run
3. states that the size of the turning circle increases as the under keel clearance
reduces
4. describes how speed reduces during a turn under steady engine power
5. compares the stopping distances of a ship in the loaded and ballasted conditions
6. explains why a loaded ship carries way longer than when in ballast
7. states that the stopping distance for a loaded ship may be up to three times the
stopping distance when in ballast
8. states that in shallow water a ship will carry her way longer than in deep water
9. defines ‘directional stability’
describes the steering behaviour of directionally stable and unstable ships.
2. Effect of wind and current on ship handling
1. explains the position of the pivot point with the vessel stopped, making headway
and making sternway
2. explain the significance of the pivot point position on the response of the vessel L(3.0) T-10, T-17
to applied forces
3. explains how the effect of wind on a given ship depends upon.
- the wind strength
- the relative direction of the wind
- the above water area and profile
- the draught and trim
- the ship’s fore and aft movement
4. describes the behaviour of a ship moving ahead with a wind from various
directions
5. states that as a ship is slowed, a speed is reached at which the wind prevents
maintaining course
6. describes the effect of wind when making large turns

Page: 1 of 4
7. describes the effect of wind on a ship making stern way
8. describes the effect of wind on a disabled vessel
9. explains the importance of creating a lee when requiring smaller vessel to come
alongside
10. describes the effect of current on the motion of a ship
11. states that in rivers and narrow channels the current is usually stronger in the
center of a straight channel or at the outside of bends
12. describes how to make use of different current strengths when turning in a
channel
13. describes how a current may be used to control lateral movement towards or
away from a river berth
14. Explains how to use an anchor to dredge down with a current

3. Manoeuvres for the rescue of a man overboard

1. distinguished between “immediate action”, “delayed action” and “ person L(1.0) T-17, R-27
missing” situations
2. describes the single turn, Williamson turn and Scharnow turn manoeuvres
1. explains the situations in which each turn is appropriate
2. explains that the standard manoeuvres are not guaranteed to return a ship into
its wake because of the effects of particular ship characteristics and
environmental conditions on the ship and the person in the water.
3. lists the sequence of actions to take when a person is seen to fall overboard
4. lists the actions to take when a man-overboard report is received on the bridge

4. Squat and shallow water and similar effects

1. defines shallow water as a depth of less than 1.5 x ship’s draught


2. explains that shallow water effects become more marked as depth decreases
1. lists shallow water effects as
- increased directional stability
- a large increase in turning radius
- the ship carrying her way longer and responding slowly to changes in engine
speed
- speed falling less during turns
- squat increasing L (3.0) T-17
- trim changing, usually by the head for a full hull form T-10
4. defines ‘squat’ as the reduction of under-keel clearance resulting from bodily
sinkage and change of trim which occurs when a ship moves through her water
1. states that squat is considerably reduced by a reduction of speed
2. defines ‘blockage factor’ as the ratio of the cross sectional area of the ship to
the cross sectional area of water in a channel
3. states that squat and other shallow water effects increase as the blockage factor
increases
4. states the excessive speed in shallow water can ground a ship in water of
sufficient depth to float it at slow speed
5. states that approaching shoal patches or banks may give rise to an unexpected
sheer (bank effect)
6. states that reduced speed should be used in shallow water and narrow channels
to reduce shallow water effects and allow time to correct an unwanted sheer.
11. states that increased vibration may be experienced in shallow water

5. Proper procedures for anchoring and mooring
1. describes how anchors should be cleared away ready for use
2. describes how the approach to an anchorage is made with regard to
current and wind
1. states that anchors be walked back clear of the hawse pipes when approaching
the anchorage
2. describes the use of anchor buoys L (3.0) T-9, T-10
3. describes the safety measures to be taken by the anchor party T-17
4. describes the method of letting go and the amount of cable to veer initially
5. describes the marking of the cable and the reports to be made to the bridge
6. explains how to determine when the ship is brought up
7. states that the lights or shape for a vessel at anchor should be displayed as soon
as the ship is brought up
8. describes the procedures for anchoring in water too deep to let the anchor go
on the brake
11. describes the correct terminology for communication between bridge & anchor
station crew
Proper procedures for anchoring and mooring (Contd.)

12. describes the different methods that may be used to anchor a large ship
13. describes the securing of anchors on the completion of anchoring
14. describes the preparation for and procedure during heaving up
15. explains how to handle cable safety in a non-self stowing locker
16. explains how to secure anchors and seal spurling pipes for a sea passage
17. lists the preparations to be made for berthing alongside
18. describes the use of head ropes, stern ropes, breast ropes and springs
19. describes the safety measures to be taken when handling mooring ropes and
wires
20. describes the dangers of using different rope types in one mooring system

23. demonstrates how to put a stopper on a rope or wire rope
24. demonstrates how to make a mooring rope or wire fast to bitts
25. describes the use of self tensioning winches
26. States the importance of keeping mooring lines clear of the propeller and
notifying the bridge when the propeller is not clear
27. Describes how to make fast tugs on towing hawsers or lashed up alongside
28. Describes the use of fenders during berthing and when secured in position
29. Describes methods of mooring to a buoy
30. Explains how to use a messenger to pass a wire or chain to buoy
31. Explains how to set up and secure a slip wire
32. Describes the method of securing ropes and wires to a buoy
33. Describes the procedures for singling up and letting go from berths and buoys
34. Explains how to slip a slip wire
35. Describes how to stow mooring ropes and wires for a sea passage
36. Explains how to rig and lift the pilot ladder & the combination ladder
37. States what equipment should be at hand ready for use at the pilot ladder
38. States that the rigging of the ladder and the embarkation and disembarkation of
the pilot should be supervised by a responsible officer
