Steering in complex sea conditions If the sea area is wide, the ship can sail normally at sea only because the automatic rudder can't work, and the steering is changed to manual steering. Generally, the steering requirements are not harsh, just try to reduce the yaw. At this time, the captain will not ask too much of the helmsman, in fact, he will be uncertain.

Generally, in operation, the surge acts on the back of the ship (the surge peak just passed the ship, leaving some advance). Just pay attention to correct the influence of swell on pushing the ship in time. Steering ability is embodied in navigation in narrow waterways, especially rivers (such as Rio parana river, Saigon River in Vietnam, Bosphorus Strait in Turkey, etc.). ), long and narrow, with many bends, complicated navigation channels and rapid water flow.

Generally, there are two helmsmen in each class, who take turns steering, and the assistant helmsman is responsible for steering. At the same time, the driver on duty is required to pay special attention to the steering of the helmsman, who should pay attention and be serious when steering. Don't panic, be calm, pay attention to the steering command issued by the pilot or captain, and reply as required.

There have been many maritime accidents caused by rudder orders, some of which are pilot password errors. Some are due to the misunderstanding of the pilot, some are due to the pilot's mistakes, and some are due to unclear understanding. So when the pilot doesn't know the pilot's password, he must ask the pilot or the driver on duty to clarify.

And when turning, the rudder should be accurate, fast and stable according to the actual situation. When steering, the most taboo is to steer. Normally, the pilot or captain wants to steer or let the ship go. At this time, it is easy to cause an accident by steering, because it is too late to press the rudder back when the bow begins to swing. Therefore, we must put an end to the phenomenon of rudder reversal.
