<br/><br/> The Williamson Turn is the standard method for turning a ship round to retrace its own wake to rescue a person who has gone overboard. However it does not work with VLC vessels (over 190000 dwt). This article describes with calculations a variation to the procedure which could be used by VLCs. A table provides data for eight different size vessels used in the research.
