As a first exploratory step a model of a ship in bollard pull conditions is linearised and its transfer functions are determined. Subsequently limited experimental data, involving sinusoidal excitation of the system input at a wide range of frequencies, is used to determine the system parameters. The resulting parameter estimates compare well against previously determined values. Although the developed ideas are far from ready to be used on full scale, the authors believe that the approach is promising enough to be developed further towards full scale application.  000007726 542__ $$fCC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 000007726 6531_ $$amarine propulsion system 000007726 6531_ $$asystem identification 000007726 6531_ $$aparameter identification 000007726 6531_ $$anear ship propulsion system model 000007726 6531_ $$adata driven ship propulsion model 000007726 7001_ $$aVrijdag, A$$uDelft University of Technology 000007726 7001_ $$aSang, Y$$uDelft University of Technology 000007726 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of iSCSS 000007726 773__ $$jiSCSS 2018 000007726 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/2536892$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007726 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/iscss$$yConference website 000007726 8564_ $$9015127d2-0211-4714-b382-27464d99f511$$s1311569$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7726/files/ISCSS%202018%20Paper%20044%20Vrijdag%20FINAL.pdf
