Description

Ship remote maintenance support system {REMOTE SHIP MAINTENANCE SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a remote ship maintenance support system, and more particularly, to a ship remote maintenance support system that enables remote repair in the event of a breakdown of a ship in operation.

In general, propulsion is generated by the main engine during navigation of a ship, and in order to drive the main engine, a large number of machines, auxiliary machines, storage containers, and devices are organically connected by pipelines and wires. Accordingly, when any one of the parts fails, it can have a fatal effect on ship operation, so it is very important to constantly monitor whether the operating state is maintained normally, and to perform prompt maintenance in the event of a problem.

However, in a normal ship, the operating state of the engine is displayed by an alarm monitoring system (AMS), which is in charge of monitoring and controlling the ship navigation system, or the data value related to the operating state of the engine, such as the main pressure or temperature, is a preset reference value. It is a situation that is limited to the extent that an alarm is generated when the driver passes the .

Recently, with the development of IT technology and increased interest in convergence technology, the demand for ship automation has accelerated, and fierce competition has been formed between software and equipment suppliers. In addition, while promoting e-Navigation with IMO as the main axis for the safe navigation of ships, the work of integrating and managing the entire ship into one system, rather than the level of automation of individual systems such as navigation system and propulsion/control system, is in progress.

However, ship owners or ship managers have the ability to solve problems with ship facilities based on decades of experience and operational know-how. However, with the recent increase in automated systems within ships, the lack of understanding of IT technology and the increase in unskilled sailors have led to problems with facilities and systems. When a problem occurs, it lacks its own ability to solve it, and the supply and demand of professional engineers is even more difficult.

In addition, the automation of ships is leading to a decrease in the crew, and the help of professional engineers is required due to the crew's lack of problem-solving skills. However, it is difficult for a professional engineer to board the ship during ship operation, and additional costs due to increased waiting time for professional engineers for maintenance and increased complaints from ship owners/crews are inevitable. Therefore, the need for an efficient maintenance system is emerging.

In addition, stable operation is the top priority for shipping companies that operate ships. In particular, it is essential to ensure stable ship operation by introducing a system that can perform systematic and professional maintenance through a remote support system in case of failure of the core engine system responsible for propulsion and power generation in the ship.

As a method for data transmission between ships and land in the ocean, data is transmitted through Inmarsat, which is a general method, but the amount of data transmitted through Inmarsat is limited, and the mailing method It is inconvenient to use because it is not possible to grasp the status in real time using the attached file format communication method.

In addition, there is a problem in that the amount of information usage is limited due to the high communication fee and the burden on the user is high, and the burden of cost is further increased because a satellite service is required to transmit the inevitably required high-capacity information.
