Lane Width in a Harbour Passage

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 November 2009

Abstract

In this paper Dr Y. Iijima of the Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine and Professor K. Honda of the Kobe University of Mercantile Marine examine the hydrodynamic and navigational factors that determine the safe width of a channel for vessels of a given size and performance characteristics. The results are compared with the widths of existing channels in Japan and elsewhere.
