Information is provided that will help ferry landing designers understand how vessel characteristics affect berthing maneuvers. Such information will assist in the development of improved ferry landing designs and operating policies. The study includes a literature review, mathematical modeling, a review of physical model tests, and sea trials. Full-scale measurements were also collected with global positioning (GPS) equipment. The results show that physical model tests, sea trials, and full-scale measurements provide useful information on vessel stopping and turning characteristics. Efforts to mathematically model vessel deceleration produced limited success. Recommendations are given for further full-scale tests to assist in defining vessel maneuverability in a variety of berthing situations.
