Abstract
    This report contains the validation report for the simulation study ordered by Maersk Line. For the 3E rudder optimisation for passages of the Suez Canal different modelling steps have been executed. The mathematical models for the open water behaviour of the 3E vessels had to be developed together with an improved mathematical model for the ship-bank interaction and especially the transition from a wider to a more narrow cross section of the Suez canal. The simulation environment itself had to be developed with as main task the description of the bathymetry of the Suez canal as the bank variation and thus depth profile of the canal has a large influence on the ship-bank interaction modelling through the calculation of a distance to the bank d2b and an equivalent blockage meq.

    The validation is executed through one simulation day with a captain of Maersk Line on the 13th of September 2017. One week later the validation is finished by the implementation of an improved transition module for ship-bank interaction when approaching or leaving wider to more narrow sections.
