船舶操纵中的制动效果是评价一艘船整体性能的一项重要指标。对于不同船型、不同吨位的船舶采用不同的制动方法,直接涉及到船舶的安全。通过船舶操纵模拟器,设定测试条件,对船舶操纵中倒车制动、Z型操纵制动、满舵旋回制动、拖锚制动、拖轮协助制动效果进行试验,得出各种制动效果的差异,比较说明各种制动效果的适用场合,以利船长、驾驶员选择适合当时环境自身条件状况的制动方法,安全的操纵船舶。
The effectiveness of ship braking maneuvering is an important index to assess entire performance of a ship. Ships of different type and tonnage apply different braking methods that are involved in ships' safety directly. By using ship maneuvering simulator and setting up tested conditions, the various ship braking tests such as reverse braking, Z-maneuver braking, full helm braking, dragging and tug-assistant braking etc. are carried and their effectiveness is compared. The comparison indicates the advantages and disadvantages of various braking and also their applicable situations. The results are useful for officers to take correct actions in ship maneuvering.
