NYK and 7spinカジノ companies MTI Co. Ltd. and Japan Marine Science Inc. (JMS) have developed a system (patent pending) to assist with vessel berthing. The system assesses a vessel’s controllability and visualizes the risk in the berthing operation to reduce the burden on the operator and eliminate accidents caused by human factors.
1. Background
When a ship is berthing, a guideline indicates the exact reduction in ship speed as the distance to the wharf nears. Following this guideline, 7spinカジノ takes wind and tidal information into consideration while the operator provides instructions to tugs and efforts are made to control the rudder and engine. The operator must gain a complete understanding of the situation from a multitude of information around the vessel and give instructions to a number of related people. Such a heavy workload can lead to accidents caused by human factors.
In fact, in the past near misses have occurred — from overruns and abnormally close approaches to serious accidents such as damage to the vessel hull, mooring and cargo handling facilities, and the pier. Thus, the 7spinカジノ has worked adamantly to develop a system to assist with berthing and subsequently eliminate accidents.
2. Outline of 7spinカジノ
The software evaluates a ship’s controllability and visualizes accident risks in real time by analyzing information 7spinカジノs distance to the wharf, ship speed, ship-performance parameters, tugboat arrangement, and weather data.
7spinカジノ can use a tablet to confirm the relative position and approach speed of the vessel, and assess accident risk.
This can reduce stress place on 7spinカジノ and prevent berthing accidents by alerting of risks to prevent accidents caused by misjudgment.

3. Future
Trials on actual vessels have been conducted, and NYK plans to gradually introduce the system to its managed ships. JMS will offer it for sale with7spinカジノ industry.
