Information system for mooring of VLCC tanker to mono buoy

The paper deals with the synthesis of a VLCC high-performance tanker control system when mooring to a mono buoy based on the use of decision support navigation devices in planning the trajectory and control over it to ensure trouble-free operation of a maritime operation. Based on the use of new methods of high-precision scenario planning of predetermined coordinates of motion by trajectory points by way of waypoints and taking into account the characteristics of ship management, a system for managing the process of performing a maritime mooring operation has been synthesized. The obtained results allow to improve the accuracy of planning and control of movement and to automate the process of preparation of a given algorithm for controlling the ship’s maneuvering and to perform the redevelopment in order to correct movement at deviations from the given coordinates. Developed methods and techniques for developing a predetermined algorithm for planning and operation of the ship’s management system, including curved sections of the path, can significantly improve the safety of navigation. The use of information about the pivot point and coordinate for planning coordinate of trajectory points which allows you to timely detect the onset of curvilinear motion and adjust the controls to move along the planned trajectory. Improvement of information support allows increasing the level of safety during the period of approach to mono buoy and mooring operations. The results can be used on ships to automatically schedule the mooring of a tanker to a mono buoy, as part of a pilot individual information device, and to develop a simulator to prepare navigators for mooring a tanker to a mono buoy.
