I am a Marine and saftey advisor for a inland tanker company
I have read your article about bowthrusters. Interesting. But I am looking for a graph or table or whatsoever on which you may indicate what the effect of the bowthruster is by increasing speed of the ship/barge.

In case the ship has no speed the turning point is about amidships. By increassing the speed the turning point shifts into the direction of the bow. Also the transverse force of the bowthruster (water force) will be in my opinion reduced by the by the water flowing longitudinally along the ship’s side. I thinkls at 3 knost speed the effect will be dramatically reduced. What is your opinion about that? .
