Development Smart Yacht Operational System and Marina Control System for Navigational Safety

Abstract

In order to prevent safety accidents in marine leisure and small ships, a support system is required to warn dangerous situations at sea and inspect status of ship. Accordingly, this paper proposes designing and construction of smart yacht operational system and marina control system. Operation status and navigation information of leisure ship is managed by internal SW of a smart device and sent to the marina control center through mobile communication network. The systems allow yacht users to operate, manage and navigate yachts conveniently and safety by receiving diverse information about navigation and safety. In addition, the NMEA2000 standard was used to acquire information on yacht status, and the gateway for the overall NMEA2000 to Wi-Fi system was designed for transmission of information to the marine control center for verification of usefulness.

Application of Smart Technologies in Croatian Marinas

“…Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive overview of activities in the marina which will enable a more efficient work organization, with an emphasis on the safety of vessels and marina users. In terms of security, control, and supervision the activities in the marina are the key elements (Shin and Kim, 2014).…”
