Analysis of the turning circle manoeuvre from the point of view of an efficient managing of the main engine

The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the 360 deg turn in theeconomy of the voyage and to find out the maximum efficiency by means of themain engine’s procedure. Moreover the additional cost of the turning circlemanoeuvre out of the whole of sea passage is also studied. The simulati...

Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the 360 deg turn in theeconomy of the voyage and to find out the maximum efficiency by means of themain engine’s procedure. Moreover the additional cost of the turning circlemanoeuvre out of the whole of sea passage is also studied. The simulation is car-ried out on two types of vessels: a SUEZMAX of 150,000 dwt and an AFRAMAXof 100,000 dwt
