🔍 Key Concepts

• Transfer in ship handling is the distance a vessel moves sideways (perpendicular) to her original track while turning. • A right rudder order from a heading of 000°T means the ship’s bow will move toward starboard (to the right) from north. • Use the cardinal points (000°, 090°, 180°, 270°) to visualize directions relative to the original course line.

💭 Think About

• Draw your original track on a simple sketch as a straight line pointing 000°T (toward true north). Then sketch the ship’s turning path with right rudder and see which way the sideways displacement occurs. • Ask yourself: is transfer measured along the ship’s new heading, along the original heading, or at 90° to the original heading? In which compass direction does that 90° line point when you are heading north? • Visualize looking down from above: as the ship swings to the right from north, what compass direction is directly to her starboard side from the original course line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that transfer is measured at right angles (90°) to the original course, not along the curve of the track. • Confirm which compass bearing is 90° to the right of 000°T using the standard compass rose (N, E, S, W). • Verify that you are measuring from the original track line, not from the ship’s instantaneous heading during the turn.
