A Nonlinear Ship Manoeuvering Model: Identification and adaptive control with experiments for a model ship

Complete nonlinear dynamic manoeuvering models of ships, with numerical values, are hard to find in the literature. This paper presents a modeling, identification, and control design where the objective is to manoeuver a ship along desired paths at different velocities. Material from a variety of references have been used to describe the ship model, its difficulties, limitations, and possible s...

A Ship Officer Performance Evaluation Model Using Fuzzy-AHP

A ship’s crew plays an important role in the maritime transportation sector and their performance is paramont in the shipping industry. On this account, an impartial evaluation of the crew’s performance is an important issue. In this paper, the ship officer’s performance evaluation problem is studied. The performance evaluation criteria that shipping companies take into account are determined a...
