published on 17 June 2021 90 -

Found on YouTube. Created by "KARCO". Originally published on 2021-01-04.
Navigation of vessels in shallow waters and narrow channels face the added risk of SQUAT, BOW CUSHION, BANK SUCTION, and SHIP INTERACTION effects.

'Shallow Water Effects' - The New KARCO video which promises to bring immense training value for navigators, has been developed using very effective 3D Animation &VFX.

The main points for development & synopsis of the video are:

- Deals with the growing concern of navigational incidents in shallow waters and narrow channels.
- Helps understand the “Bernoulli's Principle” and its practical application onboard the vessels.
- Appreciate how the same principle affects the navigation of vessels in shallow waters.
- Visually comprehend clearly the effect of Squat, Bow Cushion, Bank Suction, and Ship Interaction which has the potential of leading to serious navigation incidents.
- Identify the role played by the “Block coefficient and “Speed of the Vessel” in the squat calculation.
- Pre-empt the situations which will cause these effects and learn the corrective actions to be implemented well in time.
- Suitable for All Kinds of vessels.
- It is very relevant for all navigational watchkeepers.
- Can be hosted on the Learning Management System TrACE, which facilitates an assessment at end of the video.


Watch all this and more! in the latest release from KARCO.

Opinion A Corrected Version on Positioning of Pivot Point

by Capt. Santosha K. Nayak - published on 18 November 2020

Understanding the fundamentals of the pivot point is highly required for understanding the alteration of the courses. Pivot point is an imaginary point on the vessel which turns on a circular path on the perimeter of vessel’s turning circle when the vessel makes a turn. The knowledge about the position of the pivot point in a manoeuvring situation provides the ship handler with the information on the geometry of motion of the ship.
