Recently, there are several problems in space, infra-structure, and facility in the contiguity of existing harbors due to the trend of enlarged container vessels. In this regard, the Mobile Harbor has been proposed conceptually as an effective solution for those problems. This concept is a kind of transfer loader of the containers from the large container ship to the harbor on land, which is a floating barge of a catamaran type. The catamaran-type vessel is well known for its advantage in maneuverability, resistance, and the effectiveness for working on board. For the safe and effective operation of the two floating bodies, a container ship and the mobile harbor in the near sea apart from the quay, robot arms, novel crane systems, and pneumatic fenders are specially devised with additional mooring facility or DP (dynamic positioning) system. The concept is to be verified through comparison and simulation studies under various environmental conditions. It is shown that the proposed concept is in general feasible but there are several areas for further investigation and improvement.

The paper presents a method to build MMG model of ship motion for a oil supply vessel (OSV) with dynamic positioning system. It is assumed that the ship motion exposed to environment disturbances like wind, wave & currents, The simulation results show that the model of the vessel and environment disturbances are suitable, and the method is practicable .

This paper describes the development and implementation of a reduced-order model to represent the hydrodynamic forces acting on a ship using Impulse-Response Functions (IRF). The approach will be conducted using Aegir, a timedomain seakeeping program that uses an advanced, Non-Rational Uniform B-Spline (NURBS) based, high-order boundary element method. The Cummins equation is slightly modified such that the memory function is decomposed into two terms: one for the impulsive velocity and the other term for the impulsive displacement. The present approach also further develops a method to simulate interactions between multiple floating bodies. The IRF convolutions for the free surface memory effect significantly reduce the computational effort compared to direct simulation. This will be demonstrated for both single and multi-body forward-speed, seakeeping simulations.

ABSTRACT The dynamical positioning system is a complex control consisting of a number of components, including: filters, observers, controllers, and propeller allocation systems. The design and preliminary analysis of operational quality of system operation are usually done based on numerical simulations performed with the aid of the mathematical model of the ship. The article presents a concept of the dynamic positioning system applied to steering the training ship Blue Lady used for training captains in the ship handling research and training centre owned by the Foundation for Safety of Navigation and Environment Protection in Ilawa/Kamionka. The simulation tests performed in the numerical environment of Matlab/Simulink have proved the usability of the designed system for steering a ship at low speed.

Abstract In this work there is presented an analysis of impact of ship model parameters on changes of control quality index in a ship dynamic positioning system designed with the use of a backstepping adaptive controller. Assessment of the impact of ship model parameters was performed on the basis of Pareto-Lorentz curves and ABC method in order to determine sets of the parameters which have either crucial, moderate or low impact on objective function. Simulation investigations were carried out with taking into account integral control quality indices.
