Optimizing ship berthing [PDF]
Naval Research Logistics, 1994 Abstract : Ship berthing plans reserve a location for inbound U.S. Navy surface vessels prior to their port entrance, or reassign ships once in port to allow them to complete, in a timely manner, reprovisioning, repair, maintenance, training, and certification tests prior to redeploying for future operational commitments.

State-of-the-Art Review and Future Perspectives on Maneuvering Modeling for Automatic Ship Berthing
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Automatic berthing is at the top level of ship autonomy; it is unwise and hasty to hand over the control initiative to the controller and the algorithm without the foundation of the maneuvering model.

Automatic berthing systems: a review on artificial intelligence methods for marine ship [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesOne of the most challenging issues in the world of ship control is automatic ship berthing. In order for the berthing to be completed automatically and safely, the control systems must account for the ship’s dynamics at low speeds.

Design of an adaptive backstepping controller for auto-berthing a cruise ship under wind loads
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2014 The auto-berthing of a ship requires excellent control for safe accomplishment. Crabbing, which is the pure sway motion of a ship without surge velocity, can be used for this purpose.

Ship Mooring Methodology Designed for Ship Berthing in Extremely Limited Conditions
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringIn some ports, there are separate very narrow places between the quays and other navigational obstacles, where the distance between the quays or between the quays and navigational obstacles is very small.

CFD Simulation of the Safety of Unmanned Ship Berthing Under the Influence of Various Factors
Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2021 The safety of unmanned ship berthing is of paramount importance. In order to explore the influence of wind and wave coupling, a berthing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was established, and the characteristics of speed field, pressure field, and
