A vessel berths at two different jetties under the influence of a 1 knot beam current. At the first jetty the ship has an underkeel clearance of
5 times the draught and at the second the underkeel clearance is only 0.5 times the draught. If the current exerted a force of 50 tonnes on
the ship at the first jetty, what would be the approximate force exerted at the second if the draught is the same?
Selected answer (score 0):
