METHOD OF SHIP CONTROL IN MOORING TO DRIFTING PARTNER SHIPBOARD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B63H25/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to water transport, particularly, to ship control in mooring to drifting partner-ship. Current position of approach path is defined as a straight line passing through two preset points on the plane. Current position of preset points at whatever preset time moment is calculated using the coordinates of drifting partner ship aft and fore points, preset distance between mooring ships boards, preset position of ship mooring to another ship, and current length of braking path of mooring ship required for changing from initial sped to that equal to mooring ship linear speed lengthwise component. Approach is effected in two steps. At every said step definite points on the plane are used. At first approach step, mooring ship gets to first conditional point. At second step, it gets to second conditional point.

EFFECT: perfected control, higher safety.
