Ship is Sailing in Following and Quartering Seas
Broaching-to is a dynamic phenomenon due to the loss of control in severe following or quartering seas. The ship enters into a forced turning that cannot be corrected by the rudder, heels, and capsizes.
Severe seas of any kind are dangerous if you are not prepared. You should take special care in the following situations. In beam seas, excessive roll can cause cargo to shift, creating a dangerous list. This could cause the vessel to capsize. Strong breaking waves could also capsize the vessel. In following seas, a vessel may lose stability on a wave crest. If the vessel is overtaken by a wave crest, broaching may occur. In quartering seas, the problems of beam and following seas are combined. Quartering seas represent the most dangerous situation in severe weather.

International Safety Management Code (ISM)
The purpose of this Code is to provide an international
standard for the safe management and operation of ships and for pollution
prevention. The Code establishes safety-management objectives and requires a
safety management system (SMS) to be established by "the Company",
which is defined as the shipowner or any person, such as the manager or
bareboat charterer, who has assumed responsibility for operating the ship.
The Company is then required to establish and implement a
policy for achieving these objectives. This includes providing the necessary
resources and shore-based support. Every company is expected "to designate
a person or persons ashore having direct access to the highest level of
management".
The procedures required by the Code should be documented
and compiled in a Safety Management Manual, a copy of which should be kept on
board. After completion of this part you should be able to demonstrate
knowledge and understanding about the background of the ISM Code.

Tugboat Help In Turning A Ship
Today's ships are vastly larger than they have ever been throughout history. These huge ships can move forward and backward easily, but are usually unable to maneuver sideways. Some ships, have transverse bow thrusters which can assist the ship to move sideways, but even these advanced designs only allow limited side to side mobility, and many ships still require what is known as a "tug assist."
In a tug assist, one or two tugboats meet the larger ship while it is still outside the port. A common scenario has one tugboat behind the ship, attached to it by a line. This tugboat acts as a brake to slow down and stop the large ship. Another tugboat can be near the bow of the ship, at the port or starboard side, depending on which side the captain of the assisted ship wants to moor. This second tugboat is attached to the side of the ship by a line, allowing the tug to push or pull the boat in the desired direction.

Behavior of Ships in Shallow and Restricted Waters
Ship motions in open waters and waves are always dynamic and most of the time are nonlinear. Even though behavior of ships in shallow and restricted waters does not sound as violent at first thought, it is equally important in terms of capsizing. There has been so many casualties reported that claimed so many lives. In this study, squat phenomenon is dealt with especially addressing its determination in the preliminary design stage. For this purpose, approximate formulae have been proposed to predict bow squat of ships and compared with the other methods and experimental data found in the literature to come up with a pragmatic method to guide naval architects and masters towards avoiding excessive squat in shallow water. It is known that forward speed plays an important role in squat, hence there exist a Froude number, called critical speed, for a particular ship at which squat characteristics start changing drastically. This fact is also taken into account in the regressional analysis. Some of the results are then compared with that of the similar studies and a real life incident. It has been found that the method compared fairly well with other methods and experiments.
