1 Principles

  1.1 The Standards for ship manoeuvrability (the Standards) should be used to evaluate the manoeuvring performance of ships and to assist those responsible for the design, construction, repair and operation of ships.

  1.2 It should be noted that the Standards were developed for ships with traditional propulsion and steering systems (e.g. shaft driven ships with conventional rudders). Therefore, the Standards and methods for establishing compliance may be periodically reviewed and updated by the Organization, as appropriate, taking into account new technologies, research and development, and the results of experience with the present Standards.
