  • Publication number: 20240321069
    Abstract: This remote evacuation guidance system comprises a plurality of types of sensors provided at a plurality of positions in a ship, an evacuation guidance device provided in the ship, and a land evacuation guidance system provided on the land. The land evacuation guidance system acquires sensor information detected by the sensors, reproduces the internal situation of the ship so as to enable a simulated experience thereof on the basis of the sensor information, sets an evacuation route on the basis of the reproduced internal situation of the ship, generates evacuation guidance instruction information for guiding a passenger to evacuate along the evacuation route, and transmits the evacuation guidance instruction information to the evacuation guidance device in the ship.

  • Patent number: 11027815
    Abstract: A navigation method for a ship which includes: a plurality of main generators that feed power to navigation equipment used in normal navigation and appliances for the living quarters provided within a ship body; and an emergency generator that feeds power to emergency equipment in case of fire or flood. The navigation method includes: an emergency power feeding step for feeding power to the emergency equipment using the emergency generator when at least one of the plurality of main generators is disabled due to fire or flood; and a return-to-port power feeding step for feeding power to return-to-port equipment, required for navigation for returning to port, using the main generators and the emergency generator after the fire or flood has subsided.

  • Patent number: 10655852
    Abstract: This ship includes a ship body, a fuel tank chamber, a stern-side engine room, a bow-side engine room, a main fuel line and a sub-fuel line, and a pump mechanism. The main fuel line connects a fuel tank, a stern-side power generation unit, and a bow-side power generation unit through the bow-side engine room. The sub-fuel line connects at least the fuel tank and the stern-side power generation unit, and is disposed through a section different from the bow-side engine room through which the main fuel line passes. The pump mechanism selectively feeds fuel into the main fuel line or the sub-fuel line from the fuel tank.
