Abstract

A method for performing a sideway displacement of a marine vessel. The marine vessel includes a first and a second propulsion unit, a first and a second rudder respectively associated with the first and the second propulsion units, and a bow thruster. The first and the second propulsion units, the first and the second rudders and the bow thruster are operable via a single driver interface. The method includes the steps of; via the single driver interface operate the first and the second propulsion units and the bow thruster so as to provide a total thrust and set the rudder angles of the first and the second rudders, to thereby steer the displacement of the marine vessel during the sideway displacement.
