The approach involves the expert knowledge of both nautical officers and ship engineers to optimise the operational behaviour and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Detailed models of dynamic ship motion and engine processes form the basis of various software tools to assist the manual planning and execution of effective voyages. The results of a study in ship handling simulator show that the manual manoeuvring efficiency of experienced nautical officers has also been significantly increased by these assistance instruments. With regard to automatic shipping, the generated optimal plan is transferred to the automatic control system as a target trajectory. Based on a simplified motion model, the controller structure with feed-forward and feedback modules was developed to realise velocity, heading and track control. Results of controller application in simulator tests with and without wind disturbances are presented. In addition, the paper describes the development of necessary framework conditions for safety-critical areas for the application of automatically controlled manoeuvres in today&rsquo;s practice with the so-called nautical algorithms according to the research project GALILEOnautic 2. 000007741 542__ $$fCC-BY-4.0 000007741 6531_ $$aConsumption optimisation 000007741 6531_ $$aModel-based prediction 000007741 6531_ $$aManoeuvring automation 000007741 7001_ $$aSchubert, A U$$uUniversity of Applied Sciences Wismar, Department of Maritime Studies, Germany 000007741 7001_ $$aDamerius, R$$uUniversity of Rostock, Institute of Automation, Germany 000007741 7001_ $$aFinger, G$$uUniversity of Applied Sciences Wismar, Department of Maritime Studies, Germany 000007741 7001_ $$aFischer, S$$uUniversity of Applied Sciences Wismar, Department of Maritime Studies, Germany 000007741 7001_ $$aMilbradt, G$$uUniversity of Applied Sciences Wismar, Department of Maritime Studies, Germany 000007741 7001_ $$aKurowski, M$$uUniversity of Rostock, Institute of Automation, Germany 000007741 7001_ $$aGluch, M$$uUniversity of Applied Sciences Wismar, Department of Maritime Studies, Germany 000007741 7001_ $$aJeinsch, T$$uUniversity of Rostock, Institute of Automation, Germany 000007741 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of iSCSS 000007741 773__ $$jiSCSS 2020 000007741 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/4249726$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007741 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/iscss$$yConference website 000007741 8564_ $$9c70053fc-184c-41f2-a058-30f1dfe0554b$$s2209416$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7741/files/iSCSS_2020_Paper_2.pdf
