15 Questions
In shallow water, a ship's draft may be more restricted due to the limited ______.
depth
There is an increased risk of grounding, especially if the ship's draft is close to or exceeds the available water ______.
depth
The reduced water depth can affect the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship, potentially leading to changes in maneuverability and ______ characteristics.
stopping
The risk of squatting may also be higher in shallow water, impacting the ship's handling and ______ capabilities.
stopping
A ship in ballast condition may experience reduced resistance compared to a loaded ship due to the lighter ______.

depth
How does a ship's draft in shallow water impact its maneuverability and stopping characteristics?
It causes increased resistance and longer stopping distance
What effect does ballast condition have on a ship's resistance compared to a loaded ship?
It decreases resistance and contributes to quicker deceleration
What is the impact of shallow water on a ship's handling and stopping capabilities?
It causes decreased stability and longer stopping distance
How does the increased risk of grounding in shallow water impact a ship with close to or exceeding draft?
It causes decreased stability and longer stopping distance
How does the displacement of a loaded ship impact its stopping distance compared to a ship in ballast condition?
It increases resistance and leads to longer stopping distance
Test your knowledge about the characteristics and handling of directionally unstable and directionally stable ships. Understand the differences in steering control and maneuverability, as well as the challenges posed by each type of ship in varying sea conditions.
