Its shape and size depend on many factors. The available maneuvering area seems to be one of the most important of them. This article examines the influence of the available manoeuvring area on the shape and size of ship domain in the open sea and restricted waters. The research was conducted using a simulation method. Expert navigators participated in simulations using the ECDIS system. The domains of ship passages in open sea area and restricted area have been compared.}, doi = {10.12716/1001.11.01.11}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Safety at Sea, Simulation Method, Restricted Waters, Ship Domain, ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), Navigational Safety Assessment, Open Sea Areas, Available Maneuvering Area} }
