Abstract
The article describes methods of marine traffic engineering used for restricted areas. These methods have been developed at the Institute of Sea Navigation, Szczecin Maritime University. Their credibility depends mainly on criteria and limitations used. To determine the parameters of waterways a number of simulation optimization methods have been applied depending upon area type, mainly fairways, turning basins and harbour basins. The method of ship parameters optimization, in turn, is concerned only with ships which in ports manoeuvre by themselves, such as sea ferries or river/channel ferries, designed for specific ports. 1 Introduction Simulation methods of waterway and ship parameters optimization take their root
