The Use of Pivot Point in Ship Handling for Safer and More Accurate Ship Manoeuvring [PDF]
The size of ships has increased notably over recent decades. The size of harbours and ports has however not grown in proportion. As a result ship manoeuvring in harbours and ports has become more problematic, and more of an art than a science.
