Using simple but effective animations, this videos explains the slow speed technique of berthing ships. This is an important technique used by ship's masters and pilots in ship handling.
Contents of this video will benefit mariners preparing for exams (written and oral examinations).
Mariners will also benefit by watching the following videos:
