Abstract
According to the draft of the MASS Code, which is currently under development, the remote control of maritime autonomous surface ships is to be performed by a remote operator following the remote captain's orders, similar to existing ships. Meanwhile, a core issue of remote control is the verification at sea using existing ships; however, actual tests for this verification are challenging due to the lack of relevant international law. The purpose of this study is to develop a suitability assessment method for remote operators without actually controlling the ship. The key idea is to use Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP). The method proposed in this study employs two control commands (ship control and remote operator tracking) as evaluation variables. These commands are converted into two values (ship control value and remote operator tracking value) using SMCP. The proposed method was verified through an experiment using a remote control system configured to be suitable for the remote control of the training ship ‘Hannara’ at Korea National Maritime and Ocean University. Results from the experiment confirmed that the remote operator's suitability could be evaluated for each control device of the training ship, allowing for an assessment of the education and training required for the remote operator. This study is expected to serve as a technique that can safely and quickly evaluate the suitability of remote operators without conducting remote control experiments on actual ships.
Key Words: maritime autonomous surface ships, remote control, remote operator, suitability evaluation, standard marine communication phrases
