How to get information for wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters – or current? - this will be described in this movie:

- Measure drift speed using full thrusters
- Estimate wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters – or current...
- Finally there is a simple formula as Rule of Thumb: the transverse drift speed is about 7-8% of wind speed!
