Abstract

The present paper addresses the development of a cooperative control applied to Ships with Dynamic Position Systems (DP) under oil transfer operation. The objective of the cooperative control is to maintain constant the relative distance between the two shuttle tankers. The benefits of this control will be evaluated by numerical simulation. The obtained results will be compared to the non cooperative control.
