Abstract
In this chapter, we consider slender ships in shallow water. We shall discuss three related topics. We are, among others, interested in the influence of the bottom on the vertical position of the ship. It turns out that a ship in shallow water experiences a certain sinkage and trim due to the bottom effect. This is of importance if one wishes to determine the required depth of harbours in such a way that a ship may enter safely; it is also of i portance to know wall effects for ships travelling in a shallow channel. Here we wish to know sinkage and trim but also the force and moment due to interaction with the walls of the channel; the third topic we shall consider is the interaction between ships.
