GENERAL
SOLAS-74 Convention requires the manoeuvring information presentation on board

the ships (Chapter II-I, Regulation 28). Convention recommends the IMO Resolution
A.601(15) adopted on November 20 1987 as a guide on provision and display of
manoeuvring characteristics information.
In spite of the fact that this IMO Resolution is of recommendation character and can
be applied to ships built after September 1, 1984. IMO in accordance with its usual
practice recommends the Sea Ports Authorities to demand from all ship owners complete
fulfillment of IMO Resolution A.601(15) on board of all ships.
Some items of IMO Resolutions are used in several countries as the local rules, e.g.
"Code of Federal Regulation of USA-Navigation and Navigable Waters" which presume
the penalty for its breaking.
In accordance with IMO Resolution A.601(15) “Provision and Display of Manoeuvring

Information on Board Ships” and A.751(18) adopted on November 4, 1993 “Interim
Standards for Ship Manoeuvrability” and also Circular letter of Marine Safety Committee
MSC/Circ.644 adopted on May 25, 1994 “Explanations to Interim Standards for Ship
Manoeuvrability” ship manoeuvering standards should be estimated on manoeuvering
characteristics obtained at trails and confirmed by computer calculations based on
mathematical modelling. Manoeuvering information should be presented as follows:
- Pilot Card. The Pilot Card to be filled in by master is intended to provide information
to the pilot on boarding the ship. This information should describe the present condition of
the ship, with regard to its loading, propulsion and manoeuvring equipment, and other
relevant equipment. The contents of the Pilot Card are available for use without conducting
special manoeuvring trials.
- Wheelhouse Poster. The Wheelhouse Poster should be permanently displayed in

the wheelhouse. It should contain general particulars and detailed information describing
the manoeuvring characteristics of the ship, and be of such the size to ensure ease of use.
The manoeuvring performance of the ship may differ from that shown on the Poster due to
environmental, hull and loading conditions.
- Manoeuvring Booklet. The Manoeuvring Booklet should be available on board and

should contain comprehensive details of the other relevant data. The Manoeuvring Booklet
should include the information shown on the available manoeuvring information. Most of
the manoeuvring information in Booklet can be estimated but some should be obtained
from trials. The information in the Booklet may be supplemented in the course of the ship's
life.
The Administrations should encourage the provision of manoeuvring information on
the existing ships, and ships that may pose a hazard due to unusual dimensions or
characteristics.
The manoeuvring information should be amended after modification or conversion of
the ship, which may after its manoeuvring characteristics or extreme dimensions.
Resolution prescribes both the manoeuvring characteristics to be obtained from trial's
results and the characteristics that may be estimated (calculated).
SOURCE MATERIALS AND REFERENCES

Manoeuvring characteristics information of Ro-Ro Car and Passengers Ferry "LOBO
MARINHO" (Proj.№ P1041A, N.B. 237) are obtained from the sea trials carried out
according requirements of IMO Resolution A.601(15). The trials were carried out on board
the Ro-Ro Car and Passengers Ferry " LOBO MARINHO " by the representatives of AO
"Marine Bridge and Navigation Systems" (St. Petersburg, Russia) in April of 2003.
Several manoeuvring characteristics were calculated through the mathematical
model of the ferry, elaborated in AO MNS. Model was controlled by results of
measurements in sea.
Data in the manoeuvring documents are accurate as follows:
# time - 1 sec:
# distances - 0.01 cables;
# speed - 0.1 knot;
# dimensions of ship and draught - 0.1 m.

PILOT CARD INFORMATION
The Pilot Card is intended for operative acquainting of pilot with parameters of ship,
its condition and features on moment of pilotage.
The sheet of Pilot Card must be filled by master in blank spaces for describing the
real ship conditions prior to the arrival of pilot on board the ship and be handed to pilot as
soon as he commences the work. The general information about ship (length, breadth,
draught etc.) is duplicated in Pilot Card and pilotage receipt. However, if the pilotage
receipt, is accounting document of pilot about accomplished work and basis for collection
from ship of pilotage tax, "The Pilotage card" contains the information about condition of
ship in part of loading, engine, propelling agent, rudder devices and other equipment,
necessary for its safe pilotage. Captain can in addition indicate in Pilot Card the remarks
concerning to circumstances of pilotage.
This Booklet adduces the sample of Pilot Card. The forms of "Pilot Card", intended
for copying are applied.

OTHER INFORMATION
WHEELHOUSE POSTER INFORMATION

The Wheelhouse Poster includes the required minimum information on ship and is
intended for quick acknowledgement with the ship's particulars.
The Wheelhouse Poster must be imposed on the bridge.
Wheelhouse Poster consists of tables and diagrams describing the manoeuvring
characteristics and additional information. This additional information includes:
- Lay-out of the ship in three projections on which the ship's dimensions, parallel
waterline in load and ballast conditions, visual shadow zones are shown.
- Information about draft increasing on shallow waters, at list and at heavy sea.
- Steering particulars.
- Anchors and chains information.
- Propulsion particulars.
- "Man overboard" manoeuvre diagram.
All ship characteristics correspond the time of trials. All data for load condition is
situated in left part of Wheelhouse Poster, for ballast - in right part. The conditions
(draughts) of calculations or measurement are mentioned in upper part of poster.
Manoeuvring characteristics are represented as graphs.
In the graphs the right turning circles (the left turning circles have not particular difference) are
imposed. The dimensions of ship's symbol on diagrams are equal to real dimensions
(L=112,0 m, B=20,0 m) in the scale of diagrams. The rudder angle is equal 35°, initial
speed of the manoeuvre is the speed of the Full Speed Ahead engine order. Shallow water
turning circles were estimated for draft/depth ratio 1.25, rudder angle 35°, initial engine
order Half Speed Ahead.
Initial points of circulation (the moment of command to steer) are used as the points
of origin of co-ordinates of graphs. The moments of course changing to 90°, 180°, 270°
and 360°, ship positions, time and speed are indicated on graphs.
Stopping, crash stop abilities are given as nomograph “Time-speed-distance” built in
common for all graphs scale. Using any of these three you can get the other two. At that it
is possible to interpolate data both in every nomograph and for intermediate values of
manoeuvering initial speed. Stopping ability and crash stop characteristics are represented
on the Wheelhouse Poster as table "Stopping characteristics"
The warning in the upper part of table required by the US CODE OF FEDERAL
REGULATION - NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS § 164.35:
WARNING
The response of the ship may be different from that indicated above if any of
following conditions, upon which the manoeuvring information is based, are varied:
(1) calm weather - wind 10 knots or less;
(2) no current;
(3) water depth ― 5 ship's draft or greater;
(4) clean hull;
(5) Intermediate drafts and normal trim.
DETAILED INFORMATION ON MANOEUVRING
This section adds the Wheelhouse Poster information and contains detailed
description of manoeuvring characteristics according to IMO Resolution A.601(15)
requirements.
The IMO Resolution A.751(18) resolution “Interim Standards For Ship
Manoeuvrability” identify six significant qualities for the evaluation of ship manoeuvring
characteristics:
- Inherent dynamic stability;
- Course-keeping ability;
- Initial turning/course changing ability;
- Yaw checking ability;
- Turning ability;
- Stopping ability.
Manoeuvrability characteristics, except circulation, shown in Wheelhouse Poster, are

presented by turning circles with speed acceleration (leaving of anchorage) and zig-zags -
10° -10° and -20° -20°
Two manoeuvres "Man overboard" are represented:
- "Man overboard " with 230° manoeuvres;
- "Man overboard" with "Parallel Course" manoeuvres.
The principles of graphs construction are the same that in the Wheelhouse Poster.
Tracks of turning circles are drawn the centre of gravity of the ship.
Stopping, crash stop and acceleration characteristics are shown as graphs of

dependence V=f(t) and S=f(t) with common time axis. Sometimes these graphs are more
convenient then nomograph “Time-speed-distance” shown in Wheelhouse Poster.
In section 5 Manoeuvring Characteristics in wind two cases of drifting under wind

influence in ballast conditions with the wind force 15 m/s 270° (W) and 15 m/s 230° (SW)
are shown.

CONCLUSION
Trials and estimation show that the linear characteristics of circulation - largest
diameter (Dmax), advance (L1) and transfer (L2) depend more on the rudder angle than
from initial speed.
The left circulation at any rudder angles and initial speeds has no difference from
right ones. The opposite transfer is away.
At circulation from zero speed (leaving the anchorage) the ship has good
manoeuvring qualities.
The higher is rudder angle the more is the speed decreasing on circulation. The
heaviest fall of speed is on the first quarter of circulation.
The ship on circulation is always situated bow inside the trajectory at the angle of
drift. The drift may be determined by deviation of ship's symbol from the circulation curve.
The comparison of manoeuvring characteristics of ship on deep water and on shallow
water shows, that on shallow water the manoeuvring ability becomes worse (versus
depth/draught ratio):
- the reaction on rudder deflection is slowed down;
- the linear elements of circulation is grown, the return transfer is appeared;
- the squat is increased.
From comparison of emergency manoeuvres it is visible, that for prevention of
collision with stationary object or ship the "Hard to board" manoeuvre is more effective
than the "Crash Stop" manoeuvres due to the less advance.
The analysis obtained date shows that the ship has manoeuvring characteristics
satisfying the criteria of IMO Resolutions A.751(18) “INTERIM STANDARDS FOR SHIP
MANOEUVRABILITY”:
- the tactical diameter of turning circle is 3,8 ship length (load condition T=4,9 m) and
tactical diameter of turning circle is 3,6 ship length (sea trials minimum load
condition T=4,63 m), standard - not to exceed 5 lengths;
- the advance in turning circle in these cases are 3,54 ship lengths (load condition
T=4,9 m) and 3,4 ship lengths (sea trials minimum load condition T=4,63 m),
standard - not to exceed 4.5;
- the advance in the 10/10 zig-zag test is 1,4 ship lengths, standard - not to exceed
2,5 ship lengths;
- the first overshoot in the 10/10 zig-zag tests are 9,3° (load condition T=4,9 m) and
8,8° (sea trials minimum load condition T=4,63 m), standard - not to exceed 10°;
- the second overshoot in the 10/10 zig-zag tests are 9,1° (load condition T=4,9 m) )
and 8,1° (sea trials minimum load condition T=4,63 m), standard - not to exceed 25;
- the first overshoot in the 20/20 zig-zag test are 15,4° (load condition T=4,9 m) ) and
14,8° (sea trials minimum load condition T=4,63 m),, standard - not to exceed 25;
- the track reach in the full astern stopping test is 5,94 ship lengths, standard - not to
exceed 15 ship lengths.
The adduced information on manoeuvring characteristics shortly reflects the features
of each ship of series and can be complemented by captain and navigators.
