This study investigated the turning maneuver performance of a containership in regular waves using a two-time scale formulation. This article also presents a ship motion program, coupled with a 3-degree of freedom (3-DOF) maneuvering solver, whereby the seakeeping problem is solved with the forward speed considered in the computations. Captive tests were simulated in a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) environment to obtain the maneuvering derivatives. A near-field analysis was performed to obtain the effective wave force, which was the second-order mean drift force in this analysis. The proposed method was used to estimate the turning circle maneuver performance of the S-175 containership in both calm water and waves of different wavelengths. Ultimately, the simulation results showed high consistency with experimental data.
