| Abstract | After successful conferences on bank effects, ship – ship interaction and ship behaviour in locks, the Fourth International Conference on Ship Manoeuvring in Shallow and Confined Water (MASHCON) has a non-exclusive focus on ship – bottom interaction. With increasing ship sizes in vertical and horizontal dimensions, a clear understanding of the interaction between a ship and the bottom of the waterway will help to improve the operations and increase the safety of manoeuvring ships. To open a joined research effort on the validation and verification of the different research methods, the Knowledge Centre Manoeuvring in Shallow and Confined Water has selected model test data which were obtained while executing tests with the DTC container carrier in the framework of the European SHOPERA project. The benchmark data are harmonic yaw and harmonic sway tests with the bare hull of the DTC at full draft and 20% under keel clearance at rest. |
