The Seamanship Tutor has put together a series of simple computer animations that show various shiphandling techniques. The animations include search and rescue operations, use of an anchor and docking operations (among others). The full set of videos can be found HERE but we’ll share with you a short preview:
The Baltic Moor
To achieve the “Baltic Moor”, the vessel should approach parallel to the berth at about 1 to 1.5 ships lenghts with offshore anchor walked back and a stern mooring wire secured by bights, along the ships side, to the ganger length of cable.

I am so impressed with the shiphandling simulator, although i have been at sea for many years and as a rig move master i found the simulator very interesting and watch again the manoeuvres that you practically do in real time.
Thank you for such valuable information

After having a rather hard week (sinking the cruise ship in ship simm twice) I appreciate any and all input on technique. I have nothing but respect for you pros. It is obvious the Master must work in an expanded dimension to anticipate and handle all the issues which effect the operation of the vessel as she transits any sort of confined area.
