Extending the Capability of Vessel Integrated Automation System for Damaged Control Flooding System in 80 Meter Offshore Patrol Vessel

Abstract

Abstract Indonesia is an archipelago country that owns thousands of islands. The worthy treasures must be protected properly from any maritime disruption such as foreign invasion, pirate, hijack, terrorist, illegal fishing, illegal logging, etc. The internal ship also needs to be protected from any disaster at sea caused by natural and enemy. There is a high demand for many numbers of modern OPVs that have the capability of a warship in terms of safety and security system. One of the features is the DCFS (Damage Control Flooding System). The system assures that the ship could intact from hull damages on any recoverable scale. In this research, DCFS was built for working automatically under the integration of the installed VIAS (Vessel Integrated Automation System). A sub-program was developed so that the DCFS capable of automatically switch on/off all ship alarms and sensors systems, fire and bilge pumps systems, even main engine and auxiliary engine when the emergency call situation declared. Integrated DCFS under ship automation system will work faster than any human response to the sources of disaster can be detected and override much earlier. All integrated DCFS can be monitored in a progressive LCD multi-screen by interactive windows and menus as the results of this research.
