The study was conducted to analyse the impact of modern navigation equipment and ship hull design on improving the accuracy of manoeuvring in shallow water. The study used methods of analysis and comparison of the effectiveness of modern navigation equipment, evaluation of ship hull design solutions, and integration of these technologies to improve the accuracy of manoeuvring in shallow water. It was found that the use of modern dynamic positioning (DP) systems and high-precision navigation equipment, such as satellite systems and electronic mapping systems, significantly improves the accuracy of ship manoeuvring in shallow water. Ships with a flat hull and minimal draft were found to have better manoeuvrability compared to traditional designs. Optimisation of the bow shape and the use of stabilisers can reduce water resistance and improve handling. The use of highly sensitive steering systems improves steering precision in limited spaces. It was concluded that the integration of these technologies can significantly improve the safety of navigation in shallow water. It was also found that high-resolution radars and automatic identification systems effectively reduce the risk of collisions when manoeuvring in narrow channels and ports. In addition, vessels with an improved hull design were found to have reduced hydrodynamic resistance, which helps to reduce fuel consumption in shallow water. The study provided practical recommendations for implementing modern navigation systems and improving ship hull design, which increases the accuracy of manoeuvring in shallow water and improves navigation safety. Overall, the results confirmed the importance of integrating navigation technologies with hull design solutions to improve the efficiency and safety of navigation
