A vessel traveling down a narrow channel, especially if the draft is nearly equal to the depth of the water, may set off the nearer side. What is the name of this effect?
⢠Shallow water effects on a shipâs maneuvering ⢠Difference between bank cushion and bank suction ⢠How water flow changes when a deep-draft vessel is very close to one side of a narrow channel
⢠Which term describes the lateral push away from the bank caused by increased water pressure between the ship and the bank? ⢠Which term is used for the attraction toward the bank due to low pressure under the stern? ⢠In this question, is the vessel being pushed off the near side, or drawn toward it? Focus on the wording.
⢠Identify whether the effect in the question is a push away from the bank or a pull toward the bank ⢠Recall that squat mainly affects trim/under-keel clearance, not sideways motion toward/away from a bank ⢠Make sure you are not mixing up this side force with âsmelling the bottomâ, which is about loss of steerage when very shallow overall
