A guidance and control system is introduced and applied to ship path following using two controls. The guidance system is derived through a waypoint guidance scheme based on Line-of-Sight (LOS) projection algorithm and speed is controlled by a state feedback controller. An approach concerning the calculation of a dynamic LOS vector norm is presented and the results are compared with the traditional LOS scheme. It is intended that the complete system will be implemented in a scale model of the "Esso Osaka" tanker. The results of simulations are presented here showing the effectiveness of the system.
