This paper presents an assessment of the performance a Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) in transfer mode to floating substation using P-plot chart and discusses on influence motion characteristics CTV her horizontal fender force. The results suggested that there is almost no shielding effect structure at slip limit substation's small motion. In addition, difference characteristic due berthing directi...

In this paper, consistently trained Artificial Neural Network controller for automatic ship berthing is discussed. Minimum time course changing manoeuvre is utilised to ensure such consistency and a new concept named ‘virtual window’ is introduced. Such consistent teaching data are then used to train two separate multi‐layered feed forward neural networks for com...

Among ship maneuvers, berthing/unberthing maneuvers are one of the most challenging and stressful phases for captains. Concerning burden reduction on operators preventing accidents, several researches have been conducted trajectory planning to automate berthing/unberthing. However, few studies aimed at assisting captains in The be presented captain should a maneuver that reproduces human captai...
