Sea traffic management (STM) is a methodology, developed by the Swedish Maritime Administration [1] MonaLisa project, endorsed by the European Commission, [2] sought to define a set of systems and procedures to guide and monitor sea traffic in a manner similar to air traffic management.
Dynamic positioning (DP) is a computer-controlled system to automatically maintain a vessel's position and heading by using its own propellers and thrusters. Position reference sensors, combined with wind sensors, motion sensors and gyrocompasses , provide information to the computer pertaining to the vessel's position and the magnitude and ...
Ship management is the activity of managing marine vessels. The vessels under management could be owned by a sister concern of the ship management company or by independent vessel owners. A vessel owning company that generally has several vessels in its fleet, entrusts the fleet management to a single or multiple ship management companies.
Ship masters and deck officers can obtain the depth of water from Electronic navigational charts. [2] More dynamic or advanced calculations include safety margins for manoeuvring effects and squat. [7] Computer systems and software can be used to manage and calculate UKC for ships and ports.
The z-drives and bow thruster can be linked in a dynamic positioning system to keep the ship on-station while working. [5] Pathfinder has an unrefueled range of 12,000 miles (19,000 km). [6] USNS Pathfinder in 2020 off the Washington coast. The ship has three cranes and five winches to lower and retrieve various instruments.
Dynamic trimming or dynamic trim optimization is an automated process used to control the trim of a large ship. The trim of a ship is the height difference between the draft of its hull. It represents the angle at which the ship is floating, relative to a designated water line.
