Abstract
A system for maintaining a predetermined roll angle of a hull of a marine vessel, the system comprising: a stabilisation element arranged below the waterline on an outer surface of the hull, a sensor unit providing a first sensor data providing information relating to the movement and/or positioning of the marine vessel, a processing unit 5 receiving the first sensor data and providing a first control output, a control unit receiving the first control output and providing a first control input to the stabilisation element to counteract a rolling movement and/or positioning of the marine vessel.
Claims15
A system for maintaining a predetermined roll angle (heel) of a hull of a marine vessel, the system comprising:
- a stabilisation element arranged below the waterline on an outer surface of the hull, the stabilisation element comprising a body having a pivotal connection to the hull,
- a sensor unit providing first sensor data providing information relating to the movement and/or positioning of the marine vessel,
- a processing unit receiving the first sensor data and providing a first control output, and
- a human interface unit receiving a predetermined roll angle input from a user and providing a second control input to the processing unit,
- a control unit receiving the first control output and providing a first control input to the stabilisation element to counteract a rolling movement and/or positioning of the marine vessel.
A method for maintaining a predetermined roll angle of a hull of a marine vessel, the method comprising:
- providing a first sensor data providing information relating to the movement and/or positioning of the marine vessel,
- receiving the first sensor data and providing a first control output,
- providing a human interface unit receiving a predefined roll angle input from a user and providing a second control input to the processing unit,
- receiving the first control output and providing a first control input to a stabilisation element that is arranged below the waterline on an outer surface of a hull and having a body having a pivotal connection to the hull to counteract a movement and/or a positioning of the marine vessel.
