Comparative analysis of the maneuverability performance of a chemical tanker with the power of the propulsion installation PB=6480kw

Abstract

This article investigates ship maneuverability by conducting and comparing calculations using two distinct computational platforms. The results obtained from these calculations are subsequently compared with real data from the sea trials. A detailed analysis of the discrepancies between theoretical and empirical results provides insights regarding the reliability and precision of each computational platform in assessing ship maneuverability in the naval domain. This research contributes to improving methods for evaluating ship performance and validating computational platforms used in the industry.
