Why Dredging Alone Does Not Solve the Mega-Ship Problem
Dredging can provide the depth and under-keel clearance larger ships need. It cannot by itself provide shorter stopping distances, lower windage, wider turns or adequate towage control.

Tug girding is a rapid force-and-geometry failure. Official accident reports show how transverse towline load develops, why recovery time disappears, and which controls matter.
A Novatug simulator study tested one connected Carrousel Rave Tug after a containership lost propulsion near critical infrastructure.
