Description
Narrow channels create forces that need immediate correction. Bank effect can pull a stern toward the shore, while wind can push the whole ship off centre.
On an open-ocean passage, power limitation saves fuel. In confined water, a delayed burst of engine power can turn a small deviation into a grounding, and an environmental disaster.
