A REVIEW OF CONTROL ENGINEERING SYSTEMS AS APPLIED TO SHIPS AND LLOYD'S U.M.S. NOTATION

It is the aim of this paper to give a broad review of the marine application of control equipment and control systems being used on present day ships and its implications, without getting involved with the details or economics of any particular type of system, which it is considered should be left to the choice of the ultimate user. It is recognized, however, that the choice of equipment for some marine applications may be influenced by the requirements of the National Maritime Authorities and the Classification Societies and it is intended to explain in the paper the intention behind a particular Classification Society's requirements in this respect.
