Ferrari, V., Sutulo, S. and Guedes Soares, C. (2016), “Non-linear control for the automatic berthing of waterjet catamaran”, Maritime Technology and Engineering 3, Guedes Soares, C. & Santos T. A., (Eds.), Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK, pp. 201-209
The State-Dependent Algebraic Riccati Equation non-linear control technique is applied to the automatic berthing manoeuvre of a catamaran with waterjet propulsion. The mathematical model of the ship manoeuvring and waterjet propulsion is discussed, then the control algorithm is developed and applied to the case of a ship moving automatically towards a berthing point. Numerical simulations are presented and finally conclusions are drawn.
