It is proposed to install a hybrid fuel cell electric propulsion system on a domestic ferry. The fuel cell hybrid system is compared with the existing diesel propulsion system for this ferry using a developed time-domain threedegree of freedom ship simulator implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. Performance comparison of the two systems is made in terms of first cost, fuel cost, syste...

Marine simulator has been widely used in seafarer training and examination. Besides, in order to reduce the human subjective influence during the examination, the automatic evaluation system for ship maneuvering based on the marine simulator has become more and more necessary. So, the general design idea of the automatic evaluation system of ship maneuvering is proposed. And, considering differ...

As the development of ship building technologies, ships have been becoming larger and larger. a result, existing ports waterways can not meet requirements safe navigation, berthing unberthing operations large ships. In order to ensure for ships, wharf need be rebuilt, also it is necessary check whether rebuilt navigation needs. this paper, handling simulator used simulate pier. This paper estab...

Abstract In order to successfully steer a ship, man, ship’s watch officer, or commander of the ship must be physically ready and know maneuvering characteristics he steers, as well forces acting on him. For that, it is necessary for him specifics because each has its own "mood", specific properties that depend type, size ship. Therefore, differ even in ships same type therefore important partic...

The increase in global trade is driving growth in both the size and number of ships. However, this increased demand is leading to greater contributions from shipping to air pollution. This is leading designers and operators to propose and adopt novel powering and propulsion systems. However, there is a challenge with assessing the actual benefit from using a certain retrofit technology or chang...

Aalesund University College is building the first full-size high-speed craft simulator in Norway. In preparation of the construction of the simulator there has been built a small-scale motion simulator to test the possibilities to imitate the movements of the ship. The model is based on a Stewart platform in three degrees of freedom (roll, pitch and heave). The platform deck is moved by three D...
