Assessment of water quality in aquaculture fields requires fine-scale observation over wide area. A quad-maran unmanned vessel was developed as a new type of unmanned ship for automatic collection of various data on water quality at aquaculture fields. In this study, we develop a new trimaran experimental vessel, which is smaller and lighter than the quad-maran unmanned vessel. The newly developed trimaran vessel has three individually turnable hulls and can be used as a tested for evaluating various control and measurement systems on multi-hull robot vessels. This paper reports an overview of the system configuration and functions of the trimaran experimental vessel and shows the results of sea trial in Nanao bay, Ishikawa Pref.
