METHOD OF CONTROLLING VESSEL MOVEMENT OF OBJECT WHEN IT APPROACHES ANOTHER MOVING VESSEL Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B63H25/00 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to water transport facilities, particularly, to control of vessel movement effected on approaching another moving vessel. In compliance with the proposed method, a preset point on a plane in a direction of approach with the other moving object and centre of gravity of a vessel are used. Coordinates of the preset point are defined and coordinates of the vessel centre of gravity is computed. The data resulted are used to define the position of approach trajectory. The coordinates of the bow and stern points to use them for computing crosswise displacement of aforesaid bow and stern points from the determined position of the approach trajectory to put the rudder over depending upon the combination of these displacements.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of holding vessel on approach trajectory, higher quality of control.
