A nonlinear manoeuvring model in three degrees of freedom is presented. MARINTEK’s approach to the numerical determination of this manoeuvering model’s parameters is then shown. Finally the process of taking advanced experimental methods, and utilising MARINTEK’s numerical tools to generate an advanced model available for use in VeSim, MARINTEK’s in-house simulator tool, is shown as a demonstration that the model combined with numerical tools is of great use in making manoeuvring predictions.
