Menu item/interactive field Description
[Vessel Type] Own ship type among [Fast/Super Small], [Fast/
Small], [Slow/Big] and [Super Tanker].
[Ship Length (LOA, m)] Own ship’s length, in meters.
[Ship Width (m)] Own ship’s width, in meters.
[Summer Load Line (m)] Distance between own ship’s hull and the summer
load line, in meters.
[MAX ROT (deg/min)] Own ship’s maximum angular velocity (Rate of turn).
[Block Coefficient] Own ship’s block coefficient.
[Min Maneuvering Speed (kn)] Minimum maneuvering speed. This value is used as
the threshold for the alert 159 "Low Speed Alarm".
The TCS is available when the vessel cruise at the set-
ting speed or more.
Note: Keep in mind the performance of the autopilot to
set the own ship’s minimum maneuvering speed.
[Center of Gravity] Own ship’s center of gravity, in meters, set by X, Y and
Z axis.
[Pivot Point] Own ship’s pivot point, in meters, set by X, Y and Z
axis. Approximately 80% of the ship’s length is recom-
mended for the pivot point. For example, the ship’s
length is 350 m, enter "280 m" to [Y (m)]. For TCS, the
XTE is calculated on the value set at here.
[CCRP] Select the [CCRP] you wish to setup by left-clicking the
check box to the left of each CCRP number. You can
set up a maximum of four CCRP positions. Set up of
[CCRP1] is required.
