This paper is an introduction to model test methods as a means of establishing the manoeuvring characteristics of ships. Consideration is first given to the reasons for the adoption of model techniques and the information to be obtained. The model techniques are considered under three sections: free models, constrained models and mathematical modelling. The standard tests employed are briefly described and the information that can be obtained, together with any problems. There is finally a short discussion of the problems of ship/model correlation.
