    摘要: A propulsion control system for a marine vessel includes a propulsion system comprising at least one propulsion device configured to propel the marine vessel, a proximity sensor system configured to generate proximity measurements describing proximity of objects surrounding the marine vessel, and a control system. The control system is configured to receive the proximity measurements, generate a most important object (MIO) dataset based on the proximity measurements, wherein the MIO dataset defines a closest proximity measurement in each of a plurality of directions with respect to the marine vessel, calculate a velocity limit dataset based on the MIO dataset, wherein the velocity limit dataset defines a velocity limit in each of the plurality of directions, and control the propulsion system based on the velocity limit dataset.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a ship collision avoidance method using a psychological character of a ship officer that can provide support allowing ships to avoid collision between one another by using the psychological character of ship officers in order to prevent marine accidents. Herein, a ship collision avoidance method using the psychological character of a ship officer may include a first step calculating a relative distance (RD) and a relative bearing (RB) between two ships by using information of a main ship and information of an opposite ship, a second step estimating a collision risk level (or collision level) (CL) corresponding to the relative distance (RD) and the relative bearing (RB) by using a collision risk (CR) perception of the ship officer, and modeling a Collision Risk Estimation Model (CREM) that converts the estimated results to three-dimensional (3D) coordinate data, a third step calculating a distance of a ship domain (DSD) and the collision level (CL) using the modeled Collision Risk Estimation Model (CREM), a fourth step deciding a reference value of a spatial aspect corresponding to a reference distance for determining a presence of a collision risk between two ships and a reference value of a psychological aspect corresponding to a collision level (CL) for determining a presence of a collision risk between two ships, and a fifth step comparing the relative distance (RD) with the reference value corresponding to the spatial aspect, so as to generate a ship domain (SD) warning for notifying the ship officers that the two ships are within a distance of a possible collision, or comparing a collision risk corresponding to the relative distance (CL(RD)) with the reference value corresponding to the psychological aspect, so as to generate a collision risk (CR) warning for notifying the ship officers that the collision level has reached a level of collision risk.

    摘要: A drive pod of a watercraft such as a boat may be designed to break off the hull of the boat in the event of an underwater collision involving the drive pod. A shaft assembly that transmits power from the engine in the hull to blades or a jet in the drive pod is designed to break at a precise point so that seals in the hull and seals in the drive pod are protected from damage. The shaft assembly may include an axial blind hole with an undercut at a bottom of the blind hole. A pin may be inserted to reinforce the shaft above the undercut.

    摘要: A computer 11 of a ship monitoring device 1 arranges one kind of transmission data between two consecutive start control codes and two consecutive termination control codes. The computer 11 also arranges information indicating a type of the transmission data between the transmission data and the start control codes and between the termination control codes and the transmission data. In this way, the transmission data is transmitted in form of packet data. Therefore, transmission data in information communication between ships and sensed information in information communication of fenders can be easily distinguished from each other. In addition, a type of information transmitted as the transmission data can be easily identified.

    摘要: A position of a target ship alongside is displayed in animation on a display unit 17 by the computer 11 based on any one of the positional information on the target ship alongside, which is transmitted from an automatic identification system (AIS) of a target ship alongside and is obtained by an AIS communication unit 13, positional information on the target ship alongside, which is obtained by the GNSS communication unit 14 from a global navigation satellite system, and positional information on the target ship alongside, which is manually inputted via an operation unit 18. Therefore, the latest position of the target ship alongside can be always displayed in animation.
