Evaluation of Influencing Factors in Cleaning Performance for Bio-Fouling Removal Based on High-Pressure Water Jets by Jaehyeon Ahn, Kaicheng Yan, Salim Abdullah Bazher, Jungkeun Oh, Daewon Seo, Su-gil Cho, Hyungwoo Kim

“…However, traditional cleaning methods such as brush cleaning and high-pressure water-jet cleaning at docks are ineffective in cleaning niche areas like bow thrusters and sea chests. Consequently, cleaning robots based on brushes and water jets have been developed to effectively remove bio-fouling. …”

Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Using Genetic Algorithm for Dynamic Positioning System by Xuan-Kien Dang, Viet-Dung Do, Xuan-Phuong Nguyen

“…It is well-known that nonlinearities affecting the control accuracy of the DPs are related to the arrangement of different types of thrusters in the vessels, such as azimuth thrusters (electric, L-drive, and Z-drive), bow thrusters, stern thrusters, water jets, and propulsion propellers with rudders. …”

Energy Savings by Optimization of Thrusters Allocation during Complex Ship Manoeuvres by Jarosław Artyszuk, Paweł Zalewski

“…In this paper, the full mission bridge simulator (FMBS) research on potential energy savings and, consequently, a GHG emission reduction, while steering a RoPax twin-screw ferry equipped with bow thrusters by a joystick control, is presented. The task of navigators engaged in the research was to steer the vessel either via classic engine, rudder, and thruster levers or via a joystick while (1) following the predefined straight track, (2) rotating at the turning area, and (3), finally, crabbing (moving sideways) until stopping at the quay fenders. …”
