Safehaven Marine have signed contracts with the Faroe Islands Rescue Service for an Interceptor 48

Video Wind Impact on Ships Turning Motion
published on 20 January 2021

It can be seen that during a turn under strong wind the ship reduces turning when it comes close to equilibrium on straight track - if the Wind-to-ship speed ratio is big enough then the ship even goes straight instead of turning. This is shown for three samples for Head, Stern wind and Beam wind. The turning can be increased if the ratio of Wind speed-to-ship...
