Study on the Improvements about Manoeuvring System

Abstract

It is necessary to study about appropriate ship manoeuvring system, which are the manoeuvrability of ship and the shipboard manoeuvring data for a safety navigation. First, the safety navigation system as composed of ship, environment and navigator, was defined. And the ship manoeuvring system was located as a part of this system. Next, the problems of a ship manoeuvring system which has encountered with accident, were examined by shipping casualty data analysis. Consequently, some improvements of a ship manoeuvring system were presented.
