Inland waterways vessels operate in waters of restricted depth and restricted width with cross-section of the waterway of different profile. These conditions affect hydrodynamic forces acting on the vessel and in consequence they affect their operation. There are several hydrodynamic effects present in inland waterways. Restricted depth and cross-section of the canal or river affects resistance of the vessel and hydrodynamic characteristics of the propeller and in consequence propulsive efficiency. Another effect is caused by modification of pressure distribution around vessel body resulting in change of draft, so called squat. Finally in narrow fairway lateral forces on the vessel are created and in case of non-symmetrical position of the vessel, those forces are also non-symmetric and causing that the vessel is pushed to one side. This affects safe handling of the vessel and requires understanding and skill of operator. This problem is discussed in the paper.

The berthing manoeuvre of ship is the last stage of navigation process. The safety of berthing depends on velocity due impact the quay. In case of ships with non-conventional propulsion (mainly two stern screws and few thrust propellers) the berthing manoeuvres are different then other ships. The paper presents an analysis the kind of ships power and their manoeuvrability features in aspect of safety berthing.
