Abstract :Since it is not possible to evaluate the maneuvering performance of a ship with a single criterion, each factor that affects the total maneuvering performance must be considered separately. This study, which examines the evaluation of maneuvering performance of ships, consists of two parts. In the first part of the study, some studies in the literature were classified and it was aimed to determine the subjects that were studied rarely. First of all, the studies about maneuvering performance were classified according to the ship type and the studies in the literature related to this subject were mentioned. After that, the linear and nonlinear equations of maneuvering motion were derived. Based on these equations, it was explained how mathematical models used in maneuvering performance analyses are derived and solved. Furthermore, the ways in which the maneuvering performance of ships can be determined and the methods of obtaining the maneuvering coefficients were explained. Finally, the results obtained in some studies were shown and interpreted.
