摘要: The location of lost or entangled fishing gear, known as derelict gear, is detected. The motion or change of position of a buoy attached to fishing gear is determined via sensors mounted on the buoy and compared to typical buoy motion. If the buoy has moved beyond a threshold value from its original location, an alert is sent to the fisherman. The available sensor data will be used to determine the likelihood of loss or entanglement. This alert facilitates recovery of lost or entangled gear by identifying where immediate retrieval efforts should be focused. The number of traps lost to the ocean that otherwise would continue to trap or entangle marine life may be reduced.

摘要: The trolling motor for an overboard person comprises a trolling motor and a wrist worn device. The trolling motor may be a battery-operated propulsion device that is operable to propel and steer a water craft. The wrist worn device may be worn by a person on the water craft. A control unit within the trolling motor may communicate wirelessly with the wrist worn device and may be cognizant of a relative position of the wrist worn device with respect to the water craft. If the person falls overboard, a separation distance between the wrist worn device and the control unit may increase. Upon a determination that the separation distance has exceeded a predetermined distance threshold, the control unit may direct the trolling motor to energize, deenergize, or reverse direction such that the trolling motor may move the water craft closer to the person.

摘要: [Problem] To provide a collision damage reduction system for watercrafts, which system is usable even when a user watercraft stops or is moving at slow speed.
[Solution] A collision damage reduction system for watercrafts comprises: an information acquiring device for acquiring information on a user watercraft 2 and a target watercraft 11; a turning device for turning the user watercraft 2 to change a front-rear direction thereof; and a control device configured to acquire the information from the information acquiring device, and control the turning device based on the acquired information. When detecting a risk of collision between the user watercraft 2 and the target watercraft 11, the control device controls the turning device such that the turning device turns the user watercraft 2 to a state in which the front-rear direction thereof is parallel to a moving direction of the target watercraft 11.-

摘要: Apparatus and computer-implemented method for autonomous marine vessel docking, the method including determining a transit control mode associated with route plan data defining transit operation between ports; determining an autonomous docking control mode associated with harbor track data including a set of waypoint properties and defining approach zone information and track segments joined at waypoints. Method further includes determining vessel location, speed and heading; comparing the vessel location, speed and heading to the approach zone information and changing from the transit control mode to the autonomous docking control mode in response to: the vessel location included by the location area information; the vessel speed being lower than the maximum vessel speed for entering the approach zone; and the vessel heading matching criteria defined by the maximum heading deviation for entering the approach zone.

摘要: A method to control a marine vessel comprising two or more drive units. The method involves registering an operating command indicating a requested sideways or bow bollard push function; detecting a current vessel position; registering the current vessel position as a desired vessel position; executing the requested bollard push function; and monitoring the current vessel position in order to detect a deviation relative to the desired vessel position. If it is detected that a deviation between the desired vessel position has exceeded a predetermined value, then the requested bollard push function is deactivated. The disclosure further relates to a control unit arranged to control a marine vessel and a marine vessel comprising such a control unit.

摘要: A marine autopilot system is disclosed. While in autopilot mode, the marine vessel's autopilot system autonomously steers the marine vessel's rudder. Steering input provided using the helm typically results in counter-steering to the autopilot. If the autopilot is following a current heading or course (route), the autopilot may continue its efforts to remain on the heading or course in response to the deviation caused by steering input to the helm. The disclosed autopilot system improves this problem by including one or more sensors that measure helm movement and wirelessly transmit helm movement data to one or more components of the marine vessel's electronic network. If the operator of the marine vessel manually steers the helm to deviate from a current heading or course, helm movement exceeding a predetermined autopilot disengagement threshold may cause the autopilot control to temporarily disengage, allowing a user to manually steer the marine vessel.

摘要: A multi-anchor depth control system for a boat or other watercraft having a line for securing anchors to the boat, at least two anchors attached at or near opposing ends of the line, a depth finder, and a controller configured to automatically adjust the amount of line released from the boat to maintain the anchors on the floor of the body of water in which the boat is floating, based upon information obtained from the depth finder.
