Abstract

Governing method of a vessel comprising at least one bow thruster, provided in the area of bow of the vessel and a single steerable engine and/or an engine with fixed axis and with at least one rudder. The method provides a maneuver of transversal translation so-called drift with activation of the bow thruster with a pre-established number of revolutions and a pre-established direction of rotation and simultaneously the activation of said one engine with a pre-established number of revolutions and a pre-established setting of forward gear or reverse gear. The engine and/or the rudder are steered alternately in one direction and in the opposite direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vessel with a pre-established steering angle and/or the gear direction, that is the gear direction set on the engine is alternately inverted between forward gear and reverse gear, the duration of each steering position of the engine and/or of the rudder respectively in said first direction and in said second direction and/or of said setting of gear of the engine in forward gear or in reverse gear or the frequency of switching between the two steering directions and/or the two gear directions, being in the order of magnitude of the duration between setting of the steering direction and/or of the gear and corresponding actual displacement of the vessel caused by the thrust of the engine in the corresponding steering direction and/or in the corresponding gear condition and due to the inertia of motion of the vessel.
