| Abstract |
Squat is an important issue for ships navigating with limited under keel clearance in restricted waterways such as
channels and canals. The admittance policy for containerships on the Western Scheldt, a tidal estuary in the
Netherlands giving access to the port of Antwerp (Belgium), is based on a minimal static under keel clearance to
ensure safe passages on the river. A large number of captive model tests executed in the Towing Tank for
Manoeuvres in Shallow Water (co-operation Flanders Hydraulics Research - Ghent University) have been
evaluated to determine squat prediction formulae. Measured sinkage and trim depend on a number of parameters
like ship velocity components, ship loading condition, propeller action, blockage of the waterway, bank
geometries and characteristics of other shipping traffic. The derived mathematical models have been
implemented in the ship manoeuvring simulators of FHR to visualize the dynamic under keel clearance during
real-time simulations at different locations on the Western Scheldt.
