A comparison of ship maneuvering characteristics for rudders and podded propulsors

A comparison of a high speed container ship using a rudder versus a podded propulsor is made to study replacing a rudder with a pod. A mathematical model is altered to simulate a ship operating with a rudder and with a pod to maneuver. The model incorporates the nonlinear maneuvering equations and c...
