Claim 12:
13. A marine location management system for remotely navigating a marine vessel, the marine location management system being located remote and separate from the marine vessel and adapted to communicate with a vessel control system of the marine vessel, the marine location management system comprising:
a storage medium adapted to store geographical coordinates of at least one marine location, wherein the at least one marine location is located within at least one of a marina, a mooring field, or a lock;
a communication module adapted to receive a geographical location of the marine vessel; and
a processor, in communication with the storage medium and the communication module, adapted to:
determine at least one available location of the at least one marine location to receive the marine vessel, each available location is associated with corresponding geographical coordinates;
determine a navigation plan based on the corresponding geographical coordinates of the at least one available location and the geographical location of the marine vessel; and
identify an optimal available location of the at least one available location based on one or more selection criteria;, wherein the vessel control system is configured to control at least one motor located on the marine vessel, the vessel control system further configured:
(i) to receive the navigation plan corresponding to the optimal available location determined by the processor, wherein one or both of the processor and the vessel control system are configured to determine a set of thrust vectors based on the corresponding geographical coordinates of the optimal available location and the geographical location of the marine vessel; and
(ii) to control the at least one motor based on the set of thrust vectors to navigate the marine vessel to the optimal available location.
