In the paper described the manoeuvring problem for approaching during emergency STS transfer operation with oil spill. The approach manoeuvre is considered as a sequence of navigation manoeuvres in specific navigational environment with environmental and operational constraints as well as ship dynamic performance. Additional constraints results from STS transfer operation guide and navigation practise.}, doi = {10.12716/1001.11.02.17}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Safety at Sea, Oil Spill, Ship-to-Ship (STS), Ships Manoeuvering, Environmental Protection, Ship-to-Ship Transfer Operation, Ship to be Lightered (SBL), Approach Manoeuvre} }
