Abstract:Abstract. Use of harbor tugs to assist vessels in berthing operations is a common practice. More often nowadays tugs are used also to provide escort service to large vessels, which cannot maneuver safely in constrained harbor waters without assistance due to their size, or to provide back-up steering ability if the vessel propulsion fails. High level of risk usually inherent to these operations stipulates the study of the tug and ship interaction dynamics. This research deals with mathematical modeling of the … Show more
