Auto-Crossing via Joystick manoeuvring control system
Newly developed Auto-crossing system successfully trialed and accepted onboard RO-Pax ferries
The routes consist of waypoints and radiuses of turns, which are pre-loaded inside the system’s memory. The change between the different routes is available manually or via external signals (for example when the vessel changes its direction of the movement).
The system allows simplifying manoeuvring control of the vessels with complicated propulsion configuration. The system combines features manual control of engines and thrusters using the single joystick as well as position and heading keeping in the automated mode.
