METHOD OF TANKER STABILISATION IN FREIGHT OPERATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B63H25/00 G05D1/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to water transport. Proposed method proceeds from generation of control signals for actuators. For this, current coordinates of below points are continuously defined in time: oil terminal mechanical center O (φ_o, λ_o), tanker aft point A (φ_A, λ_A), and tanker fore point F (φ_F, λ_F) to determine point F₁ located on line connected oil terminal center with tanker aft point A. Note here that point F₁ is located at fixed distance d from oil terminal center. Then, current coordinates of point F₁(φ_F1, λ_F1) are calculated to calculate distance between current positions of points F and F₁, and to determine magnitude of length FF_1. Proportionally with said length generated is control signal for actuators designed to drive tanker fore point F to point F₁. Which makes point O, F, A located on one line to meet freight operation safety requirements.

EFFECT: stabilised position relative to oil terminal.
