Abstract

The article deals with the issues of automatic control of the vessel’s movement under external conditions of wind and current. A brief review of the sources was carried out and the limitations of the traditional control schemes with one stern rudder were shown.  A control scheme with additional bow rudder has been proposed. It allows to reduce fuel consumption, the number of actuations of actuators and to increase reliability through redundancy management. A comparison of the proposed and traditional control schemes for mathematical modeling in the MATLAB environment has been made.
