Abstract: This article describes a remote experimentation environment for marine vehicles (Hardware and Software) and its application in engineering education. The laboratory has an in-scale model of a turbo-ferry tf-120 which keeps all the hydrodynamic characteristics of the full-scale vessel. The physical model was developed to be autonomous and is controlled remotely from a PC using Wi-Fi communications. It has the instruments commonly used in vessels such as: GPS, UMI, accelerometers and gyrocompass. A simulation of a manoeuvring model has been developed based on geometrical definitions and compared to a heading identified model. The possibilities of the remote laboratory for engineering education are discussed.
