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 11):
A method of controlling a seafaring vessel which is underway, comprising:\n providing a control system for the vessel; detecting current sea condition data using one or more sensors, the sea condition data including sea conditions in both the seafaring vessel's far field and near field; retrieving historical sea condition; analyzing on a computer 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 and the maximum being at least two wavelengths from the minimum and the far field being beyond the maximum;\n calculating the one or more commands in preparation for the predicted encounter determined by the analyzing step; and \n implementing at least one of the one or more commands via the control system to activate one or more control devices in response to the predicted sea condition.
