What is SAMMON?

SAMMON is the central software product group of ISSIMS GmbH1. It is designed to support

both instructors and trainees in maritime lecturing and simulator training. With its unique

Dynamic Prediction methods SAMMON offers innovative approaches for designing berthing

concepts and evaluating simulation exercises.

By calculating the ship‘s motion based on Fast-Time Simulation (FTS) methods and paramet-

rical ship models, with SAMMON you are able to foresee the vessel’s future track (Dynamic

Prediction) and its motion details. The system predicts every second computing time up to

1200 seconds of manoeuvring time and presents the tendency of the intended ship manoeu-

vre immediately on an electronic sea chart.

The SAMMON software group comprises the following

stand-alone desktop solutions which are available either

individually or as complete package:

- SAMMON Planning

- SAMMON Training

- SAMMON Monitoring

- SAMMON Replay

These products can be used as stand-alone simulation, on board real vessels or linked with

full-mission ship handling simulators.

SAMMON Planning

SAMMON Planning aims to design manoeuvring concepts as Manoeuvre Plans to be pre-

pared beforehand challenging harbour approaches, berthing or any other procedures. Its pur-

pose is a new type of design for interactive manoeuvre plans, exceeding the common pure

way-point planning. Applying Fast Time Simulation (FTS) technology and based on paramet-

rical ship models the vessel’s future manoeuvre track is calculated and displayed on an Elec-

tronic Chart System (ECS).

The created manoeuvre plan consists of various segments divided by manoeuvring points

where specific changes with the manoeuvring systems rudders, engines and thrusters are ex-

ecuted. Those are points of interaction, such as slow-down engine, wheel-over point or start

thruster, instead of the commonly used geographical way points and route legs.

SAMMON Planning offers new approaches for briefing and debriefing of simulator exercises

and lecturing in maritime education and training.

2.1. Introduction

Once SAMMON Planning has been started, two Windows programs appear on the screen:

- SAMMON Planning containing virtual bridge handles where the ship’s motion can be

controlled (right panel) and

- SAMMON Planning ENC showing an electronic sea chart, serving as user interface for

the manoeuvre planning process (main window).

In general, the right window serves as handle panel emulating a bridge console with the ves-

sel’s manoeuvring systems engine, rudder and thruster to conn the vessel while designing

manoeuvre plans. Further functionalities allow for managing the simulation process such as:

choosing ship models and parameters, setting initialisation modes and environmental pa-

rameters as well as handling situation files and manoeuvre plans.

For details please refer to section 3.1

SAMMON’s main window is based on an ECDIS-kernel and visualises the predicted ship path

Dynamic Prediction inducted by the bridge handles. Here, manoeuvre plans can be designed,

adapted and visualised on an electronic sea chart.

The red ship shape indicates the currently selected manoeuvre point and the black dotted

shapes the future track called Dynamic Prediction. Changes done in the right panel belong to

the actual (red) shape. The next manoeuvre point can be moved along the Dynamic Predic-

tion by the time slider located in the footer. The headline and left panel status information

belong to the ship moved by the time slider.

For details please refer to section 3.2

3.1. Functionalities of bridge handles

Menu (1)

Manage and handle situation files, manoeuvre plans and get system information. Earlier cre-

ated and stored manoeuvre plans and situation files can be re-loaded, modified and stored

again via the menu bar File. All files are located in an SAMMON database under:

- {System path}\SAMMON\data\ For details please refer to section 6

For each manoeuvre-plan file *.mpl which has

been stored, a folder with the same name is cre-

ated. This folder contains necessary information

for the ENC presentation and must not be re-

named, changed or moved by the user unless

the manoeuvre plan should be deleted. The

commanded values are stored in a manoeuvre-

plan commands file *.mpxl. This file contains all

commanded values at the given manoeuvre

points (MP). The file can be printing or edited

with spread-sheet software.

In case a manoeuvre plan should be deleted, all three files - the .mpl-file, the respective folder

and the .mpxl-file - should be deleted from the database.

Ship particulars (2)

Choose a ship model from the drop-down list. The ship’s dimensions

(LWL = length of water line) will be displayed above and the model

is ready for use.

Use key up/down, page up/down or the mouse wheel.

The drop-down list offers a selection of available ship models. The

ship’s name and a model-specific identification number are being

shown. This number is important to distinguish ship models with

the same name but different parameters tuned.

The content of the list depends on the available ship models in the

SHIPDATA database. By selecting a ship, the model is automatically

loaded, the handle configuration is being adapted automatically

and the ship is ready for use.

Initial position/orientation/speed (3)

Before commencing the planning process, the initialisation mode,

position, speed or ship-orientation entries are manually adaptable.

Also at the first manoeuvre point (MP 0) changes are possible - af-

fecting the whole manoeuvre plan

- Position, in degrees and minutes

- Speed (SOG, speed over ground), in knots No speed input permitted when “find-velocity” is selected (see section below).

- Heading and course (COG - course over ground) in full degrees. When “find velocity” is selected (see section below) and heading differs course more than 30 degrees, a warn-

ing is displayed, stating that the equilibrium is only physically reliable for head courses.

Engine/speed initialisation (4)

There are three different initialisation modes to initialise the main

engines and ship’s motion: no init, engine init only & find velocity.

- no init leads to a start situation with unprepared engines. This

means that there is no equilibrium condition among engines and ship’s speed. This rep-

resents a scenario starting during or “in the middle” of an engine manoeuvre.

- engine init only represents the possibility to initialise the engines before the simulation

process begins and to start in an equilibrium condition of thrust and resistance (no

steady-state condition).

- find velocity generates an equilibrium conditions for longitudinal motion depending on

engine settings only (heading equals course). This initialisation mode reflects a steady-

state condition.

As the speed is being calculated according to the engine settings, no manual speed input permitted.

When heading differs course more than 30 degrees a warning is displayed, stating that the equilibrium is phys-

ically reliable for head courses only.

Rudders and thrusters are never considered within the initialisation modes. However, it will

affect the ship’s motion directly from that moment the ship is moved by the slider (as if the

rudder angle was applied in that moment) which is being considered by the predicted path.

Engine modes & options (5)

The ship’s engine mode can be changed between sea and ma-

noeuvre mode. To affect the ships motion, the model must be

tuned accordingly. This could affect e.g. the ramping curves, engine load and maximum rud-

der or AZIPOD angles. For podded ships, the Manoeuvre Mode acts as AZIMAN mode (ABB)

and the Sea Mode as Cruise Mode. This function is available with SAMMON Planning product

version 1.4.x.26 or higher.

For synchronisation of multiple rudders and/or engine telegraphs or AZIPODs check and un-

check the Sync. Rudder/Sync. EOT box.

Engine order telegraphs / AZIPODS (6)

The engine order telegraph (EOT) panel adapts automati-

cally to the chosen type of vessel. There can be up to four

handles and if the selected ship is equipped with pitch pro-

pellers, the pitches will be displayed below the virtual han-

dles.

By operating those handles, an engine order command can

be set (in %) and the respective commanded rotations per

minute (RPM) is shown in the upper edit field. The actual

RPM is displayed as blue bar as well as in the lower edit field

(inactive). The actual RPM is only indirectly controllable by

the engine order - as well as the propeller’s pitch. The check

box in the top left corner synchronizes the engines. Engine

I will be master, II to IV slave.

Use key up/down, page up/down, mouse wheel or enter the desired value in the edit box. Reset handles (zero values) by double clicking the edit box.

For podded ships: AZIPODS are to be operated by the ver-

tical engine telegraphs for power/RPM adjustments

whereas the POD’s azimuth (angle) is to be set via the ver-

tical rudder handle. Azimuth restrictions apply according to

the ship-model tuning. Usually, when sailing in Sea Mode

(Cruise Mode) the angle is limited to 35 or 45 degrees.

This function is available with SAMMON Planning product version 1.4.x.34 or higher.

Rudder systems / AZIPODS (7)

Depending of the number of rudders up to four rudders can

be operated. The operation modes are the same as for the

engine handles and rudders can be synchronised as well.

Above the handle the maximum applicable rudder angle is indicated. For vessels with speed-

depending maximum rudder angles, the applicable rudder angle might be restricted at cer-

tain ship speeds.

Bow and stern thrusters (8)

The number of panels is limited to four bow and stern

thrusters each, whereas the maximum number is limited to

a total of six thrusters. They can be assigned to one lever

per thruster or being synchronized.

Enable/disable: Menu bar -> Tools -> Set one Lever per Thruster.

Single thrusters can further be disabled (powered off) by

unchecking the respective check boxes.


Environmental parameters (9)

Three (constant) environmental parameters are adaptable:

- Wind (is coming from) absolute direction (°) with abso-

lute speed (kt).

- Current (is setting to) absolute direction (°) with absolute speed (kt).

- Water depth (m) has an impact in terms of shallow-water effect. The minimal permitted

water depth is defined by the ship’s maximum draft + 0.1 m.

All boxes can be edited manually, either on the screen by a slider which activates when editing

a value or via keyboard input. The external conditions are valid for the respective actual

manoeuvring segment and new settings can be made in the next segment accordingly. This

option can be used very flexible, e.g. for realising wind shadowing on certain segments.


Footer (10)

Find here the total manoeuvre time for a loaded manoeuvre plan, the PC system time and

reference-point information (relevant for advanced users).

Menu (1)

Chart Settings offers preferences with basic ECDIS functionalities, Manoeuvre Planning con-

tains all relevant actions and modes for designing manoeuvre strategies and under Tools

routes can be imported, objects highlighted and measuring instruments found.

For a detailed menu description please refer to section 3.3.

Conning information (2)

The headline summarises the ship’s conning information such as geographical data, ship dy-

namics and environmental data.

Prediction set-up (3)

The vessel’s future path is visualised by black-dotted ship shapes (Dynamic Prediction) and

can be adjusted in range and interval in the left upper corner. The vector is a simplified pre-

diction based on actual speed and course only.

Speed components (4)

The middle section of the left panel indicates the three speed components: longitudinal

speed and transversal speed at bow and stern.

Status of manoeuvring systems (5)

The lower section of the left panel gives status information of the manoeuvring systems: AZI-

PODS, engines, rudders and thrusters. The rudder-angle indicator shows the actual rudder

angle, the value below the commanded rudder angle. The same applies for the bow and stern

thrusters. The main-engine panel shows the ordered engine telegraph (EOT in %) the related

RPM and the actual pitch, if applicable.

Operational controls (footer) (6)

The footer provides operational controls for the planning process:

- By the time slider the ship shape is moved along the predicted path (segment length and

time is displayed in the boxes beside).

Drag the slider to adjust the desired position, click into the slider to move the ship in 10 sec. steps or use the arrows for 1 sec. steps (use alternatively key up/down, page up/down).

- To create a new manoeuvre segment, press the button Set MP in order to set a new ma-

noeuvre point (MP). Switch to Edit Mode to pick a MP from the drop-down list and adapt

the plan if desired.

- Change the sea-chart range or pick a position, bearing and distance with the cursor.

Dynamic Prediction with Manoeuvre Plan (7)

Once a manoeuvre plan has

been loaded or created, all ma-

noeuvre points (MP) will appear

as blue ship shapes at their geo-

graphical position.

The Edit Mode (upper picture)

allows for changing an existing

manoeuvre plan. On activation,

a Manoeuvre Point is to be se-

lected from the drop-down list

located in the footer. To activate

the Edit Mode, click the button

‘Select/Edit MP’. Changes done

in the Edit Mode will affect all

following points.

Within the Planning Mode

(lower picture) a new plan can be

created or an existing one con-

tinued. For its activation pick the

last Manoeuvre Point from the

drop-down list. The button ‘Add MP’ becomes active and the plan can be continued.

General note: the red shape is always the position from where changes at the ship’s settings

(manoeuvring systems, environmental parameters) will start to affect the ships motion. That

is further indicated by the black-dotted shapes (the Dynamic Prediction) that visualises the

future track based on that input.

Use the slider, located in the footer, to move the ship along the predicted path to the desired

position and set a new manoeuvre point (or adjust the time interval between two existing

Manoeuvre Points)

- Blue shapes: manoeuvre point (MP)

- Red shape: active Manoeuvre Point to change a segment or continue planning

- Black dotted shapes: future track induced by the manoeuvring settings

- Blue shape with red contour: position on the predicted path, set by the slider

For more information about the edit- and planning mode please refer to section 5.1

Wind and current flag (8)

The left upper corner shows how both wind and current are ef-

fecting the ship at its actual heading. It shall help you to over-

see the prevailing wind and current situation at one glance.

- Wind (yellow flag) is coming from/absolute direction with

standard meteorological speed indication (short bar 5 kt,

long bar 10 kt). Here 25 kt.

- Current (blue flag) is setting to/absolute direction.

Both parameters can be changed in the right handle panel.

The header, containing the ship’s conning information, gives

in contrary to the wind flag the relative wind direction and

speed which physically affects the ship.

Soundings

Enable Deep Soundings and/or Shallow Soundings independently. The threshold is defined

by the 10 m depth line. As default both are disabled.

Object Information

Lights enables the graphical visualisation of light information for light houses, buoys and

landmarks e.g. light sectors and light-colour information. Text Information enables all object

descriptions available (general and navigational). As default both are disabled.

Orientation

Change the charts orientation between Head-Up (subject to the ship’s heading) and North-

Up. Default is North-Up.

Vector

As known from RADAR and ECDIS systems the ‘Speed Vector’ shows speed and course over

ground (SOG and COG), here for the reference position ‘bridge’.

Pivot Point Vectors

The vectors of bow- and stern speed components

are visualised and connected by a line that crosses

the midship section. That point is commonly un-

derstood as the position of the pivot point.

In this graphic, an ahead moving ship turns by use

of rudders via the port bow, generating a high lat-

eral stern speed that pins the PP right behind the bow.

3.3.2. Manoeuvre Planning

Set Ship Position

Move the vessel to another geographical position. Choose this item and click the left mouse

button at the desired position. Function is not available when planning in process. Reset cur-

rent manoeuvre plan to move the ship.

Create (Planning Mode)

Create enables the Planning Mode. Default when a situation is being loaded or created. Start

with the planning right away. The button Set MP in the footer is active and new or further

manoeuvre points (MP) can be set.

Show

For advanced users only: this item is to be used in case of an ENC crash. The ENC module can

be restarted manually to maintain the actual state of planning process. After ENC restart

Show restores the current plan to the Edit Mode. Press Create for changing to the Planning

Mode and continue with your manoeuvre.

Reset

Discard the whole manoeuvre plan. The ship remains at its actual position and all its settings

and dynamics are reset to zero.

Edit (Edit Mode)

Edit Mode - the drop-down list in the footer becomes active and allows for browsing through

the manoeuvre points (MP) in order to alter segment lengths and bridge commands.

For details please refer to section 5.2.1

Insert

Insert allows for adding a manoeuvre point (MP) between two existing MPs. Change to Edit

Mode to enable that option.


Clear Up Following

Discards not the whole manoeuvre plan but parts of it: change to Edit Mode to enable that

option and pick the respective manoeuvre point (MP) from where the following MPs are to

be deleted. When function is carried out the system changes to the Planning Mode. Continue

with your manoeuvre right away!


Undo Last Step

When adapting a plan in the Edit Mode, this option undoes all changes made after picking

the actual MP. Deleting and inserting MPs cannot made undone, only the changes within one

MP.


Additional Shapes

Enable additional shapes between the manoeuvre points in a 60 seconds interval to visualise

the ship’s heading and by that the needed space (swept path) on its track.

3.3.3. Tools

Ruler

The Ruler is a measuring line for bearing and dis-

tance. Choose Set and fix the initial point by a

mouse left click in the sea chart. A second left click

sets the final point. Bearing is measured from ini-

tial to final point. Another left click sets a new ini-

tial point. A right click fixes the line and frees the

cursor from the ruler function. Delete removes the

fixed line and disables the ruler function.

EBL/VRM

Set enables the electronic bearing line EBL and

variable range marker VRM. Set the centre point

by a mouse left click at the desired position and

move the mouse to span circle and line. A second

left click sets the bearing point. With another click

a new centre point is set. A right click fixes the pre-

sent arrangement and frees the cursor from this

function. Delete removes the fixed arrangement

and disables the function.

Polygon

The Polygon consist of interconnected line seg-

ments which can be created by a number of mouse

clicks. Enable this function via Set and span the

Polygon by consecutive left clicks. To terminate it:

click right. The chart can be dragged and dropped

as usual whilst the Polygon function is active. De-

lete removes the Polygon and disables the function.

Maximum number of line segments is 12.

Reference Object

Use Reference Object to highlight a point of interest

such as a significant buoy, break water, wreck etc. It

is a red circle further indicating its radius so that a

minimum required clearance can be found. Set ena-

bles the function. Set the centre point by a mouse

left click at the desired position and move the mouse

to span the circle around it. A second left click sets

the circle’s radius. With another click a new centre

point is set. A right click fixes the present arrange-

ment and frees the cursor from this function. Delete

removes the fixed circle and disables the function.

Import, Save and Delete Mariner Objects

EBL/VRM is considered as a measuring instrument only whereas Ruler, Polygon and Refer-

ence Object are considered as markers for points of special interest called Mariner Objects.

They can be fixed in the sea chart, stored in a .csv-file and imported.

Mariner Objects can be deleted all at once or manually and will always be stored as a full set.

Manoeuvre Point Info

This option opens

windows with mano-

euvre-point specific

information contain-

ing engine, rudder

and thruster orders.

Furthermore, com-

ments can be made

and stored along

with the manoeuvre

plan by clicking Save

Comment. The win-

dows can be dragged

and dropped in-

dividually and will

not move along with

the sea chart.

Getting started

4.1. Introduction

In general, SAMMON Planning has two major fields of application. It can be used for

- Designing berthing plans as Manoeuvre Plan for challenging harbour approaches, con-

fined waters or locks, to familiarise with a specific ship model, a certain sea area, or all

three in one. This applies for briefing of complex ship-handling simulator exercises or

real-vessel manoeuvring.

- Visualising specific effects of the vessel’s manoeuvring characteristics in lecturing, brief-

ing or debriefing sessions. Those characteristics could be wind, current or shallow-water

influence, stopping distances, turning circles, thruster operation, rudder efficiency, com-

binations of those and more.

4.2. Initialisation

Launch SAMMON Planning1 and start with the selection of a ship model, its start position and

initial settings (to be chosen in the right-side panel). This can be achieved either by loading a

pre-stored situation file via the menu bar File -> Load Situation File or by choosing a ship

model from the drop-down list, entering the desired position and adapting the vessel’s set-

tings.

- By selecting an initialisation mode, the vessel’s main engines can be initialised (engine

init), the respective speed calculated (find velocity) or none of them (no init).

- Via the handle bars, rudders and thruster can be adjusted. It will not change the vessel’s

initial motion conditions, but the impact on the future manoeuvre is immediately visual-

ised by the prediction in the sea chart and starts affecting the vessel once the planning is

started.

- Environmental parameters such as wind, current and water depth can be adapted and

further changed within the planning process.

For more details please refer to section 3.1.

Before commencing with the planning process, the actual settings can be stored in a situation

file via the menu bar File -> Save Situation File in order to reload the current situation at any

time. Now everything is well prepared and a manoeuvre plan can be designed. Change for

that to the main window SAMMON Planning ENC.

1 SAMMON Planning (right-side panel with virtual bridge handles) and SAMMON Planning ENC (main window, with an electronic sea-chart and planning interface) appear on the screen.

4.3. Start the planning process

The start position is displayed by a red ship shape and

marks the manoeuvre point MP 0. Start the planning

process by moving the vessel along the predicted

path by the time slider located in the footer.

- From now, all ordered manoeuvring systems will

become active and affect the vessel’s motion.

The initial position, speed, heading and course

cannot be changed anymore. The given conning

information in the headline refer to the position

induced by the time slider.

- By moving the slider a blue ship shape with red

contour detaches from the initial position (red

ship shape) and moves along the black-dotted

ship shapes (Dynamic Prediction).

- Complete the first manoeuvring segment by

setting a new Manoeuvre Point (press the Set

MP button located in the footer). The ship shape

will turn red and becomes the starting point for

the next segment. Alter now the ship’s prefer-

ences and continue planning.

Blue ship shapes will mark the determined manoeu-

vring points (MP) at their respective geographical po-

sitions. All MP’s are connected by a blue track

whereas the actual segment to be planned is showing

black-dotted shapes (Dynamic Prediction). Its range

and interval can be adjusted in the left upper corner.

The maximum number of manoeuvre points is 32.

4.4. Store, load or discard

Once the plan is completed, it can be stored via the

menu bar File -> Save Manoeuvre Plan in order to be

reloaded and edited at any time or to be loaded in

other SAMMON software products for monitoring

purposes (for details please refer to section 8). Reset

Advanced planning

5.1. Planning Mode

In the Planning Mode, you can continuously set

manoeuvre points to design segment by segment

a full manoeuvre plan such as harbour ap-

proaches, river passages and departure plans.

Therefore, at the last manoeuvre point the ship’s

settings (manoeuvring systems and environmen-

tal parameters) can be changed and new points

continuously can be set. Under the Manoeuvre-

Planning menu the item Create is selected and

the button Add MP in the footer is activated. If

necessary to change or adapt the current ma-

noeuvre plan before continuing, change over to

the Edit Mode.

5.2. Edit Mode

Editing a manoeuvre plan allows for jumping back

to all previously set manoeuvre points so that

changes or corrections can be made here. Change

to the Edit Mode my selecting Edit in the Ma-

noeuvre-Planning menu or by clicking the Se-

lect/Edit MP button in the footer. Following fur-

ther options become active by that:

- Insert - Clear Up Following - Undo Last Step

To change back to Planning Mode choose Create

from the Manoeuvre-Planning menu or pick the

last manoeuvre point from the drop-down list and

continue the planning.

5.2.1. Editing a manoeuvre plan

Each manoeuvring segment is defined by an ini-

tial and final manoeuvre point whereas its track

depends on the ships settings at the initial point

and its lengths on the time slider setting.

Change at manoeuvre points will affect all following MP’s in their geographical position and

their dynamics. Only the commanded values (set in the handle panel) will remain the same at

all MP’s.

5.2.2. Inserting additional manoeuvre points

For inserting an additional manoeuvre point (MP) in between two existing MP’s, enable Insert

from the Manoeuvre Planning menu. Choose the MP at the beginning of the concerned seg-

ment in the footer from the drop-down list.

With the time slider the ship can be set at any position between the chosen and next MP.

When satisfied with the new settings press the button Insert MP located in the footer. The

new MP will be inserted with the actual handle settings which can be changed now. To con-

tinue the manoeuvre plan select Create.

5.2.3. Clearing up from selected manoeuvre point

To discard not the whole manoeuvre plan but parts of it, switch to the Edit Mode and pick the

respective manoeuvre point from the drop-down list. Choose Clear Up Following from the

Manoeuvre Planning menu to delete all following MP. Directly continue with the planning

from the actual manoeuvre point.

5.2.4. Undo last step

In the Edit Mode, all steps done after selecting a manoeuvre point can be made undone. Click

Undo Last Step in the Manoeuvre Planning menu to retrieve the initial situation from the mo-

ment the MP has been chosen. This function is not applicable for inserting and clearing ma-

noeuvre points.

5.3. Environment parameters

When environmental parameters such as wind, current or water depth are changed within

the planning process, a message window pop’s

up on screen asking if the newly entered value

shall be applied for all following manoeuvring

points (from the actual selected MP). When

denied (No), only the actual segment will be

affected by the changes. To adapt the intended changes not only for the following manoeu-

vre points but for all MP (whole manoeuvre plan), select manoeuvre point MP 0 from the

drop-down list (change mode), apply the changes and accept (Yes).

About ISSIMS GmbH

ISSIMS GmbH develops high level products to increase

safety and efficiency in ship operation. Our expertise on

Ship-Handling Simulation and Fast-Time Simulation tech-

nology has led to unmatched solutions for manoeuvring

support.

The developed software tools exceed conventional way-

point planning by creating complete manoeuver plans that

max out the ships’ manoeuvring potential. Complex ma-

noeuvres can be monitored and controlled using Multiple

Dynamic Predictions for optimal ship handling; and coun-

termeasures can be calculated to avoid roll resonance and

wave impact in heavy weather.

These tools are unmatched solutions for

- Application in maritime education and training to support lecturing and training for ship

handling and manoeuvring. On the one hand it can be used to demonstrate and explain

more easily manoeuvring-technology details to the trainee and on the other hand to pre-

pare and perform manoeuvring training in Ship-Handling Simulators and to learn from

discussion of the results,

- Application on board to assist manoeuvring of real ships e.g. to prepare manoeuvring

plans for challenging harbour approaches with complex manoeuvres up to the final

berthing/unberthing of ships.
