Abstract An important part of maritime operations is to control the movements of the vessel — often referred to as maneuvering. In restricted waters and harbor areas the autopilot is often switched off and the crew has to perform the maneuvering of the vessel manually by controlling the forces produced by control devices (or actuators) such as rudder, main propeller, and thrusters. The increasing size of vessels and traffic-intensity has led to increasing demands on the crew’s ability to maneuver vessels in a safe and efficient manner.
