🔍 Key Concepts

• Bank effect and squat in narrow channels • Relationship between vessel speed and controllability in confined waters • Importance of channel depth and position in minimizing sheer

💭 Think About

• How does higher speed affect bank suction, cushion, and squat in a narrow channel? • Where in a channel is bank effect usually strongest, and where is it usually weakest? • Does putting an anchor in the water actually prevent sheer, or can it create new handling risks?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify how reducing vs. increasing speed changes hydrodynamic forces on the hull and rudder effectiveness • Consider whether being close to the bank/outer limits increases or decreases the risk of sheer • Ask if using an anchor while making way is a standard shiphandling practice in narrow channels or an emergency-only measure
