Stern-First Method for POD Ships –Practical samples starting with Twin screw followed by POD ships

Practical samples for manoeuvres for ships going astern - as Stern-First-Method SFM. Introduction using as sample from the Master Thesis by Karel Wiegert for an arrival manoeuvre of a cruise vessel in Southampton port with a Twin-screw vessel under strong current. The same manoeuvre with the same ship model was used to show the advantage of Fast Time Simulation FTS using the SAMMON Planning Tool. This goes much faster than the manoeuvres in the real time simulator - and it can even be edited for discussing alternatives or optimisation purposes. The last sample is the arrival manoeuvre in the Port of Rostock with a POD ships under strong Wind. It could be demonstrated that with going stern first the manoeuvre can be much more effective - faster and even possible for higher wind speeds.
This demonstrates the advantage of a POD acting with SFM now at the fore end of the ship seen in the direction of motion and working directly against the wind - This enables smaller drift angle, specifically if the bow thruster at the other end supports holding the ship against the wind.
The final sample is sort of provocative - showing a movie with departure manoeuvres of many ships as a "Port Miami Fashion Show" where the idea came to me why these ships are not immediately leaving the port directly with stern first - in contrast to go first into the harbour to turn the ship and then heading to the open sea…

Video Fast Time Simulation of manoeuvres - SAMMON

published on 24 November 2020

This video shows the underlying principles of the SAMMON software tools based on Fast Time Simulation of manoeuvres. It describes very shortly some of the features for manoeuvring planning and conning / monitoring with danymic prediction which are shown in more detail in the other movies on this channel.

Video Presenting OpenBridge Design System at DSD2020 in Oslo

published on 6 May 2020

I recently presented the OpenBridge design system at the Design System Day 2020 in Oslo. I talked about what OpenBridge is, how it differs from other design systems and where we are heading.
The conference was moved online due to the Corona virus, so I had to record the presentation using my mobile phone, and get Jon Olav from the lab to add the slides. So - apologize for the home quality of the presentation, but I hope you enjoy learning more about our work!
Since we launched the free...

Video Zé Peixe - The extraordinary pilot from Port of Aracaju, Brazil

published on 23 December 2021

Who knwos Zé Peixe? What makes Zé Peixe a rare species is the way he works: he swims to fetch the ship, while his colleagues use a support boat. And when he takes the ship out of the harbour, instead of returning by boat he jumps into the sea.

Video The new Bermuda pilot boat (2011)

published on 29 August 2020

This is the new Bermuda pilot/SAR boat 'St. David'. Its intended to operate up to 30miles off the island in the open north Atlantic but capable of going much further. She is a Gladding Hearn built, all weather 61' aluminum hull capable of about 30kts. She replaces a 23 year old pilot boat with the same name.
