Abstract

The purpose and scope of this paper is to describe selected problems relating to the proper selection of vessel speed and planning the safe trajectory of its circular arc motion in a restricted area (e.g. on sharp and narrow curves of a fairway) taking into account the practical method of maintaining the steady return radius of the ship Rc by proper adjustment of ROT (Rate of Turn) angular velocity values relative to Vs longitudinal speed values.
