    摘要: A water area object detection system (103) includes a first imager (1a) configured to image an object around a hull (101), a second imager (1b) configured to be provided on the hull such that an imaging direction of the second imager (1b) is same as an imaging direction of the first imager (1a) and configured to image the object around the hull, and a controller (3) configured or programmed to perform a control to create a water area map around the hull based on images captured by the first imager (1a) and the second imager (1b). The second imager (1b) is configured to be deviated in an upward-downward direction (Z) of the hull from the first imager (1a), and the first imager (1a) is configured to be deviated in the imaging directions from the second imager (1b) so as to not overlap the second imager (1b) in the upward-downward direction perpendicular to the imaging directions.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide docking assist for mobile structures. A docking assist system includes a logic device, one or more sensors, one or more actuators/controllers, and modules to interface with users, sensors, actuators, and/or other modules of a mobile structure. The logic device is adapted to receive docking assist parameters from a user interface for the mobile structure and perimeter sensor data from a perimeter ranging system mounted to the mobile structure. The logic device determines docking assist control signals based, at least in part, on the docking assist parameters and perimeter sensor data, and it then provides the docking assist control signals to a navigation control system for the mobile structure. Control signals may be displayed to a user and/or used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.

    摘要: The invention concerns a system for mooring a first floating structure (2) to a second structure (1), for example an FAU to an FPSO. The system comprises a main positioning arrangement (4) for maintaining the first floating structure (2) at a predetermined distance (lc) from the second structure (1). The system further comprises an auxiliary positioning arrangement (3, 3a, 3b) or a back-up system for mooring the first floating structure (2) to an underlying seabed by for example an anchor. This auxiliary positioning arrangement is configured to establish, in case of malfunctioning of the main positioning arrangement, a resultant force (Fres) acting on the first floating structure (2), which force has a magnitude and direction that ensures maintenance of a minimum distance (lmin) between the first floating structure (2) and the second structure (1). The resultant force is the total force acting on the first floating structure and involves for example a surge added mass, a damping force, a horizontal force component from the auxiliary positioning arrangement and a total force from the main positioning arrangement.
