Results of the first phase of this study are presented relative to a two-phase program in which the maneuvering characteristics of Great Lakes ships in critical channels will be examined. The purpose of the first phase was to identify specific problem situations in terms of channels, vessel types, design variables and operational variables. Results obtained in the Phase 1 study include data collected through interviews with personnel from industry, analyses of the physical characteristics of waterways, traffic level projections, and analysis of historical damage records. Specific problem situations are identified in terms of channels, vessel types, and variables. Recommendations concerning the Phase 2 program are also included in this report relative to model tests, full-scale trials, and digital simulation studies.
