🔍 Key Concepts

• Head reach / headway as it relates to stopping distance • Difference between a vessel's advance and transfer in a turning maneuver • What happens to a vessel's motion when engines are put full astern

💭 Think About

• Which option refers specifically to longitudinal (forward) distance along the original track, rather than sideways or turning distance? • When you put engines full astern to stop the ship, are you primarily concerned with turning characteristics or with how far ahead you keep moving before you stop? • Think about which term is commonly used in stopping tests to describe the distance traveled in the same direction before the ship is dead in the water.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which terms (advance, transfer) are normally associated with turning circle maneuvers, not stopping. • Decide which term is linked to the ship’s forward motion along its original course during a stop. • Confirm that the term you choose is used in standard shiphandling/stopping distance diagrams for an emergency full-astern maneuver.
