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.

Video Stern-First Method for POD Ships –Practical samples starting with Twin screw followed by POD ships

published on 12 August 2022

Practical samples for manoeuvres for ships going astern - as Stern-First-Method SFM. Introduction using as sample from the Master Thesis by Karel Wiegert for an arrival manoeuvre of a cruise vessel in Southampton port with a Twin-screw vessel under strong current. The same manoeuvre with the same ship model was used to show the advantage of Fast Time Simulation FTS using the SAMMON Planning Tool. This goes much faster than the manoeuvres in the real time simulator - and it can even be...
