Abstract:
A system for controlling movements of a marine surface vessel includes a hull, a bow and a stern. A control unit being controls movements of one or more fins, which control movements of the vessel, in dependence on signals from a position input device, and on signals from a position detecting device. The fin(s) is connected to a respective actuator via a rotation shaft adapted to protrude from the vessel hull, wherein the rotation shaft defines a rotational axis of the fin. Each fin comprises a fin base adapted to be at a first distance from the hull, and a fin tip adapted to be at a second distance from the hull, which second distance is larger than the first distance, wherein a leading edge of the fin, and a trailing edge of the fin extend on opposite sides of the fin, from the fin base to the fin tip.
Abstract:
An arrangement for dynamic control of running trim, list and/or yaw of a boat, having a housing member comprising a front plate a and rear plate, an interceptor member, an actuating means, a drive unit, and a guiding arrangement, arranged to guide said interceptor member between a first position and a second end position, said actuating means being arranged to displace said interceptor member in a movement between said first and second positions in relation to said housing member wherein said guiding arrangement has a first guiding member and a second guiding member arranged to interact with each other to provide a parallel movement of said interceptor member in relation to said housing member, said first guiding member being a torque transferring, rotatable element having a base body arranged to extend transverse to the direction of displacement of said interceptor member.

Abstract:
A computer system is configured to actuate a pitch motion stabilizer of a marine vessel. The computer system has processing circuitry configured to obtain operating data indicative of a maximum frequency of operation of the pitch motion stabilizer. The maximum frequency of operation is indicative of a capability of the pitch motion stabilizer to suppress pitch disturbances acting on the marine vessel, setting a low-frequency pitch motion range and a high-frequency pitch motion range of the marine vessel. The low-frequency pitch motion range is a frequency range below the maximum frequency of operation of the pitch motion stabilizer, and the high-frequency pitch motion range is a frequency range above the maximum frequency of operation of the pitch motion stabilizer. Vessel motion data indicative of an amount of pitch accelerations by the marine vessel in the high-frequency pitch motion range is obtained. A trim angle of the marine vessel is reduced by controlling the pitch motion stabilizer in response to an increased amount of pitch accelerations by the marine vessel in the high-frequency pitch motion range.
