    Competence objectives of the study unit
    The student is provided with knowledge, proficiency andskills as to the manoeuvring and handling of a ship in all condi-tions, including:
    • manoeuvres when approaching pilot stations and embark-ing or disembarking pilots, with due regard to weather, tide, head reach and stopping distances
    • handling the ship in rivers, estuaries and restricted waters, having regard to the effects of current, wind and restricted water on helm response
    • application of constant rate of turn techniques
    • manoeuvring in shallow waters, including the reduction in underkeel clearance caused by squat, rolling and pitching
    • interaction between passing ships and between one’s own ship and nearby banks (canal effect)
    • berthing and unberthing under various conditions of wind, tide and current with or without tugs
    • ship and tug interaction
    • use of propulsion and manoeuvring systems
    • choice of anchorage; anchoring with one or two anchors in limited anchorages and factors involved in determining the length of the anchor cable to be used
    • dragging anchor; clearing foul anchors
    • dry-docking, both with and without damage
    • management and handling of ships in heavy weather, in-cluding assisting a ship or aircraft in distress; towing opera-tions; means of preventing a vessel not under command from getting in a position where swell is coming from abeam, lessening drift and use of oil
    • precautions in manoeuvring to launch rescue boats or sur-vival crafts in bad weather
    • methods of taking onboard survivors from rescue boats and survival crafts
    • ability to determine the manoeuvring and propulsion char-acteristics of common types of ships with special reference to stopping distances and turning circles at various draughts and speeds
    • importance of navigating at reduced speed to avoid dam-age caused by the ship’s bow or stern wave
    • practical measures to be taken when navigating in or near ice or in conditions of ice accumulation onboard
    • use of, and manoeuvring in and near, traffic separation schemes and in vessel traffic service (VTS) areas
