Abstract:
A motion control system for a ship has one or more sensors generating sea condition data and at least one ship control system. Analyzer software receives the sea condition data and predicts a sea condition event. Calculator software calculates one or more commands in preparation for the sea condition event. Interface software communicates the one or more commands to the at least one ship control system and the at least one ship control system implements a command in advance of the event. The at least one ship control system may comprise a ride control system having one or more motion control devices. The at least one ship control system may also comprise an auto pilot system.

Claim (Index 17):
A motion control system for a seafaring vessel which is underway, comprising:\n a plurality of sensors generating current sea condition data, the sea condition data including sea conditions in both the seafaring vessel's far field and near field; a storage having historical sea condition data stored thereon; a motion control system having one or more motion control devices; and a computer having:\n an analyzer receiving the current sea condition data and the historical sea condition data and determining a not yet existing predicted sea condition anticipated to be encountered by the vessel in the future in the far field based at least in part on both the current sea condition data and the historical sea condition data, wherein the near field represents an area between a minimum and a maximum, the minimum being a sufficient lead time to implement one or more commands in response to a predicted encounter in order to reduce effects of the predicted encounter on the vessel; \n the maximum being at least two wavelengths from the minimum; \n the far field being beyond the maximum;\n a calculator calculating the one or more commands in preparation for the predicted sea condition determined by the analyzer; and \n an interface communicating at least one of the one or more commands calculated by the calculator to the motion control system; wherein the motion control system automatically activates the one or more motion control devices in response to the predicted sea condition using the at least one of the one or more commands calculated by the calculator.
