Executive Summary

The Techno Super Liner(TSL) developed in JAPAN already reached the practical stage of operation beyond the experimental stage. To achieve efficient navigation making use of this TSL, it is required to save time for entry or departure as much as possible, especially entry. From this point of view, there are two problems in base port for TSL.
 One is how to set up water facilities to prevent obstructing their high speed, especialy the width of channel for entry and the anchorage area required for turnning the head. In this study, we constructed a virtual reality system by which operation of TSL can be experienced using Graphics Work Station and five desplays of 70-inch screen. Based on results of maneuvering simulation carried out by a person who has experienced a captain of the experimental ship 'HISHOU', the conditions including the width of channel were examined. By analyzing the results of simulator experiments and comparing those with the record of 'HISHOU' The other is what kind of support system is required to enable entry within a fixed time of a day and under any weather conditions. In this study, we adopted the Leading Lights
and the Ramark Beacon as the support system for the TSL to enter a port safely on time. Using the maneuvering simulator, the TSL was maneuvered to enter a port with/without support systems. Based this results, the effectiveness of these support systems veified.
