Anneveld has shown that drift angle due to coriolis may be appreciable in the case of large vessels operating in the middle and higher latitudes. Unfortunately the hydrodynamic information on which he bases his equations is not complete, leading to a false idea of the magnitude of the effect at normal ship operating speeds.
