Simplified Vector Approach for POD forces - samples and limitations

This movie belongs to the operation of ships with POD propellers and discusses the approach for using a vector model from only the pods’ thrust forces as resulting force to imagine the potential effect of the pods on manoeuvring motion. This simplification neglects the effect of e.g. of propeller interference to the ship structure and the other pods as well as the rudder effect of the pod structure even with no thrust in passive mode. Numerous samples of manoeuvres with one or two pods in typical IN-OUT or TOE-IN configurations will be demonstrated with the SAMMON planning tool to show where the simplified approach is working or other effects need to be considered additionally.

Please put a video regarding maneuvering on rivers and using the bowthrusters also. Stuff like entering a lock and best practices when sailing with radar on rivers would be awesome. A lot of Rhine navigators would love it. Thanks and keep it up!

nice job!!!!

Please make something about Rhine or river navigation with pod vessels and sailing effects of current in downstream and upstream.

Very nice what you are doing. Do you have anything prepared regarding river ships and river sailing? Like how to sail through narrrow bends effectively, entering locks sosf

Thanks for your words of appreciation. We have river ships and also river area charts. But my focus was more on big ships and ports. However, I remember also doing some activities for New Orleans, there were also river parts involved...

@@issims-innovativeshipsimul4419 Thank you for the reply. Will you ever make them available on TH-cam?
