Problems
It is not easy to close two moving objects smoothly. Therefore seafarers established a few procedures which will be used regarding the sizes and manoeuvrability's of the vessels involved. We can consider three configurations
- Vessels making way, fast approach (1)
- Mother vessel stopped (2)
- Vessels making way, tactful approach (3)
The table below show the required manoeuvre regarding the operation for a few vessels
| Pilot Boat | Supply Vessel | Bunker Barge | Open-sea vessel | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot Boat | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Supply Vessel | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Bunker Barge | 1 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| Open-sea Vessel | 1 | 3 | 2 | 3 |

Famous quotes containing the word problems:
“The mother’s and father’s attitudes toward the child correspond to the child’s own needs.... Mother has the function of making him secure in life, father has the function of teaching him, guiding him to cope with those problems with which the particular society the child has been born into confronts him.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
