Abstract
Results of the experimental investigation of the effects of finite water depth on the hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on ship model moving in the horizontal plane are presented. The structure of the mathematical model used is verified after the multiple linear regression and dispersion analysis methods. Comparison between the full scale and predicted ship manoeuvrability characteristics are made. This work is carried out at BSHC, Varna, Bulgaria with the help of PMM.
