The assessment of ship manoeuvring properties is a crucial part of the process of ship design and is usually first carried out during the model test phase of the project. According to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the manoeuvrability of the ship can be assessed on the basis of the standard trial manoeuvres. In order to do this, free running model tests or captive model tests are used, in conjunction with a mathematical model of ship motion; this is considered to be a reliable prediction method. In recent years, numerical-based methods have also been widely used in ship hydrodynamics and constantly improving computing power and more accurate fluid dynamics models have made the simulation of more complex cases possible. The study presented in this paper focuses on the determination of propeller-rudder-hull interaction coefficients based on the Mathematical Modelling Group (MMG) standard method in ship manoeuvring prediction. The identification of the parameters uses both captive model tests and a simplified numerical method, as well as regression formulas. The results of 35° turning and 10°/10° zig-zag manoeuvres, obtained with the use of each prediction method, are then compared. The test case used in the study is the container type cargo ship equipped with a single propeller and rudder. The model scale, for which the referenced model tests were carried out, is equal to 1:25 and a NACA 0020 rudder profile was used. This research highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each presented prediction method and their potential for future improvement.
