What is the formula of the turning circle of the ship at anchor?
We may simply add the length of the anchor cables used and the length of the ship together in estimating the radius of the turing circle of a ship at anchor.

Why turning circle for ship is more in shallow water?
This is because the depth of the water has a significant effect for the maximum turning circle of an anchored vessel. In shallow water, the anchor chain has longer catenary than in deep water when the length of the chain laid out is the same. And so, to minimize its turning circle, the anchor chain laid out in shallow water should be less than in deep water. Normally, in moderate weather condition, determining the right lenght of the chain to be paid out is by getting the depth of the water and multiply it by 3-5 times. In bad weather condition, multiply it by 5-8 times or more.

What basic motion should a ship have in order that the rudder will be effective in turning the ship?
It should be moving forwards or backwards.
How do you estimate swinging circle for a ship at anchor?
it is determined by the length of the shackle passed into water,in addition to the length from the for'd perpendicular to the bridge.sum of these two are known as the swinging circle of the ship.it is radius at which the ship rotates with anchor as the centre.the radius will not exceed the sum of the lengths.it is important to check time to time whether the anchor is dragging or not.swinging circle should be closely watched when the ship's are nearby.swinging circle can be reduced by standing moor.
