Shiphandling, английский
Refers to managing the effects of controllable and uncontrollable forces on a ship while on the high seas or in constricted waters, and while docking, and mooring; always with due consideration of the laws governing heavy bodies in motion. the uncontrollable forces to be considered are winds, currents, seas, tides, and draft, while those that can be controlled are propellers, rudders, thrusters, mooring lines, anchors, and tugboats. modern shiphandling has had to adapt to substantial changes. the average size of vessel has vastly increased, but not all ports have been enlarged. until recently, the only large vessels were capital ships and passenger liners. being better manned and more powerfully engined than many modern monsters, they were safely handled with primitive communications and limited assistance. much of the former charm and likeable characteristics of those ships is now missing, ship 288 but every new floating object presents a challenge. large container ships with towering deck cargo cannot be treated the same way as small general cargo ships. huge car carriers, gigantic cruise ships, and mammoth tankers require special attention. colossal aircraft carriers demand meticulous handling. good shiphandling is a combination of art, science, and skill; with competency depending on thorough understanding of the physical principles involved, and sufficient experience at sea to be able to evaluate rapidly changing conditions. the proficient shiphandler must have both, plus inborn sensitivity and perception. today, unfortunately, the masters and officers of large merchantmen seldom have the opportunity or necessity of handling their own ships in confined waters. likewise, due to career tracking, many naval officers claim to be so overwhelmed by ever more complex technology that they have insufficient time to develop shiphandling skills. in consequence some warship captains, especially those promoted from a specialty, feel insecure docking on their own and rely on tugboats and pilots—assistance that might be unavailable at times of crisis.
