About planning of fairway, in the case that the design ship and navigation environment is designated, class 2 verification method can be used. But, for the public fairway, the design ship can not be designated to the specific ship.
Against this background, this study evaluated the fluctuating range of required fairway width based on the difference of maneuverability in the same type and class ships, with the aim of progress of applicability of class 2 verification method to public fairway. As a result, under 75% cumulative probability, safety margin to fluctuating by ship maneuverabilities was evaluated as 3% for one-way and 6% for two-way fairway.
