To solve the problems, One Person Bridge Operation was developed as navigation supporting system. However, One Person Bridge Operation remained technological problems and one man error. Therefore, in this study, telexistence on a ship was proposed by using satellite communication. Telexistence on a ship is a concept of maneuvering between land and ship with at least two mariners such as navigation officer and helmsman. Navigation officer works on ship as usual and helmsman supports ship from land. In this paper, remote maneuvering system was developed as the first step of telexistence on a ship. For evaluating the effectiveness, ship experiment was carried out. From the result, navigation officer and helmsman could alter ship's course to 20 degrees within 60 seconds and less than 5% overshoot in the proposed remote maneuvering system.}, doi = {10.12716/1001.11.01.21}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Communication, Satellite Communications, Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), One Person Bridge Operation, Telexistence, Telexistence on a Ship, Remote Maneuvering System, Unmanned Ship} }
