Ok, I'm game - what is the difference?
It's my understanding that Constrained by Draft is for deep draft
vessels operating in channels or deep fairways - they can still stop
and maneuver, etc, but only within the confines of their draft.
Restricted Ability to Maneuver covers a whole variety of things from
WIGs to long/short tows, tows in constrained areas, operational
problems - in short the restricted ability to deviate from a course
for reasons other than draft.
If that's not correct, I'd really appreciate an explanation.
