Two codes have been developed to predict maneuvering in a seaway. The first uses a quasi-steady analysis with Fourier decomposition to determine the ship responses and find the optimum path for minimum motions. The second extends the existing body-exact strip theory (UMBEST) to arbitrary paths. Several different controllers, including a model predictive controller with constraint enforcement capability and a back-stepping nonlinear controller with desired stability margins, have been developed that will enable safe and effective ship maneuvering in a seaway while satisfying seakeeping constraints.
