By way of introduction the paper discusses conflicting observations of stability behaviour of ships in restricted waters. The equations of motion of a ship in a narrow channel are given, leading to stability criteria; differences from the deep water case are highlighted. More qualitatively, the theory also illustrates the asymmetric hydrodynamic force. Criteria are outlined for an automatic control system to improve stability. However, the first-order theory is shown to provide an inadequate description of all experimental results.
