Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02085702A1] In addition to the main throttles (10, 11) for controlling the boat at high speeds, a secondary control device is provided for use in a docking mode at low speed. It includes a joystick (20) which may be deflected in a direction corresponding to the desired low-speed direction of movement of the boat. Control circuitry (21) then determines which of the stern propellers (6, 8) and bow and stern thrusters (14, 15) need to be activated at low thrust levels to produce the slow movement in the desired direction.
