Extract

Three aspects of the controllability of a ship may be distinguished:

(i) The intrinsic manœuvrability of the ship. Requirements can be stated in terms of the manœuvres the ship can perform by means of its own control devices.

(ii) The environmental boundaries. It can be ascertained whether the manœuvres as determined in item (i) compare with the area (for instance in a harbour) available for the manœuvre. Requirements can also relate to the manœuvrability of the ship in reaction to environmental disturbances and their compensation by means of the ship's control devices.

(iii) The human ability to perform the manœuvres of which the ship is technically capable in the area available.
