Passing moored ship in a canal with manned ship models at Port Revel Shiphandling Training Centre

Manoeuvring large ships at close quarters and on shallow water is one of the most difficult aspects of shiphandling because of the complex hydraulic interactions depending on the ships' speeds, on the water depth and on lateral restrictions like in canals. Training is conducted both on meeting and on overtaking ships in shallow waters. This video shows that passing a moored ship at high speed can easily break the lines. <br>More information: http://www.portrevel.com/3781-....shiphandling-courses
