The ship has a right-handed propeller and is swinging to starboard when the engines are slow ahead and the rudder is to starboard. The engines are stopped and the rate of swing rapidly slows down. How could the swing to starboard be maintained without the ship making much headway.
By applying the rudder hard over to starboard and going ahead on the engines.
Astern on the engines will allow Transverse Thrust to continue the swing.
The only effective method is by using the bow thruster to push the bow to starboard.
Transverse Thrust will reduce the swing and therefore a kick ahead is necessary with full starboard helm applied.

The «Navigation (NA) Operational Level» subject covers both theoretical and practical knowledge regarding safety when working with electrical equipment. Mastery of this information is a key indicator of an employee's competence in their specific role on a vessel. As a 3rd officer responsible for navigation duties, your primary tasks include assisting senior officers in planning the ship’s voyage by calculating safe passage routes, preparing navigation charts, and monitoring weather conditions. You are also responsible for conducting regular safety checks on all life-saving equipment to ensure it is in good working order, as well as operating and maintaining navigational equipment like radar, GPS, and compasses to ensure they are functioning correctly.
