CAT I Beidou is an add-on option to a CAT ROT for operations that demand more accurate positioning than the ship’s own positioning. CAT I Beidou enables the users to freely switch GNSS types between the US GPS and the Chinese Beidou.

It can be seen that during a turn under strong wind the ship reduces turning when it comes close to equilibrium on straight track - if the Wind-to-ship speed ratio is big enough then the ship even goes straight instead of turning. This is shown for three samples for Head, Stern wind and Beam wind. The turning can be increased if the ratio of Wind speed-to-ship...
