Accurate prediction of the ship squat is of significance to ensure safety passage of ships in restricted waters. In this paper, a first-order Rankine source panel method is adopted to predict the squat of a ship sailing in restricted canal. Taking KVLCC2 tanker as example, numerical calculations are carried out for the ship travelling in a canal with different conditions. The results of squat are compared with measurement data and the results from empirical formulas. The influence of canal geometry on ship squat is investigated.
