Abstract

Method for governing a vessel comprising at least one bow-thruster and/or one stern-thruster respectively in correspondence with the bow area and with the stern area, and two engines steerable independently from each other. The method provides the activation of the bow-thruster and/or of the stern-thruster with a predetermined number of revolutions and a predetermined rotation direction of the propeller, that is, a predetermined direction of the flow generated by said bow-thruster and/or said stern-thruster, and simultaneously the activation of said engines in combination, with a predetermined number of revolutions and a predetermined setting of forward or reverse gear for each of said two engines, while said engines are steered each independently from the other in a steering direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vessel and with a predetermined steering angle, one or more or all of the following settings being selected as follows: the steering angles of said two engines being identical and/or different from each other; the gear direction and/or the neutral condition being identical or different from each other; the number of revolutions being identical or different from each other; said settings being applied in combination of only two or of all of said settings with a synchronization function as a function of the movement of the vessel generated by the propulsion vector resulting from the sum of the individual propulsion forces acting on a centre of application of said forces defined for said vessel.
