Description

Another theory as to why it is called starboard is that Vikings called the sides of their ships boards, and the word for the steering oar sounded like star. They steered from the right side as well, and so the right side was the board with the star or the starboard.

The usage of these terms became common as English trading ships sailed to several countries during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries AD. These steering oars functioned as the rudders of the craft and had to be expertly manoeuvred. Hence, it was easier to have the steering oar on the right-hand side so that the sailor was facing forward comfortably. A phrase similar to that used in navigation is then used- X degrees to the port or starboard. This information is conveyed either to the captain or to an officer manning the weapon system. Passing directions in such a manner is a recipe for disaster, as the captain’s left may differ from that of the person operating the steering gear.

In the case of unsymmetrical vessels as well, the two halves are never separately assembled. In general, most ships are symmetrical about their centerline on both sides. This has proven to be the ideal design that allows for the least resistance in moving a ship. These terms also become useful while passing messages between ships. For instance, instead of mentioning that a vessel would be passing to the right or left of a ship, the terms starboard and port can be used. For example, take an object initially at a certain angle on the port. If it is able to cover a fixed angle in a set amount of time, the distance covered and the speed of the object can be calculated through basic trigonometry. Thus, the port and starboard terms have a profound usage in the field of navigation and manoeuvring. Structure and Construction of Port And Starboard

Thus, only small red and green stripes are present for the pilot to judge the location of the vessel and the area that they need to land on. During such high-stressed environments, it is important that they continue to use conventional terms of navigation.However, certain experiments conducted in recent times at hydrodynamic testing facilities have pointed out that specific vessels that are unsymmetrical can have better performance parameters compared to their symmetrical counterparts.
