Abstract

Abstract The rapid growth of IT technology has enabled ship automation systems to gain better functionality and safety with reducedcosts and crew numbers. Nowadays, the remote maintenance services for the systems are required because a ship may belocated in a very remote area. To provide the remote maintenance services, some issues such as how to collect the ship automation systems data, how to monitor a ship's data from onshore offices, how to get support from experts while sailing,and how to reduce the maintenance costs, should be addressed. In this paper, we propose a remote ship maintenance system for remote monitoring and diagnostics of ship automation systems, which is based on both a ship area network to integrate separate system networks and a ship-shore communication infrastructure to support a remote access using satellitecommunications. Finally, we present the function test to verify the applicability of the proposed system.Keywords : Ship automation system(선박 자동화 시스템), Remote maintenance(원격 유지보수), Ship area network(선박 통합통신망), Satellite communications(위성통신)
