A navigation and control algorithm for the path following task using heading and speed controls is described. The navigation algorithm is based on the waypoint scheme using the line-of-sight projection method and is applied to simulating the manoeuvring motion of an autonomous ship model.A set of simulation tests was realized in order to evaluate the influence of the sea current on the path tracking process varying the model speed, and the current speed and direction. It is demonstrated how the sea current may interfere with the performance of the vehicle.
