With the development of social economy, my country's marine industry has also made considerable progress, and the trend of large-scale ships has become increasingly obvious. In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to the maneuverability of large ships, especially whether large ships can navigate safely in restricted waters. In order to ensure the navigation safety of large ships in restricted waters, this article analyzes the characteristics of restricted waters and the maneuverability of large ships themselves, and analyzes the causes of some maritime accidents. It points out the navigation risks of large ships in restricted waters and proposes safe navigation. Countermeasures: Reasonably adjust the speed and timing of rudder use; maintain a reasonable quay wall distance; maintain a reasonable draught difference; make careful sailing preparations.
