The paper shows purposefulness and possiblity of automation of ship propulsion systems, especially those of POD type, intended to be used on four Baltic navigation ships: a containership, ro-ro ship, product tanker, as well as river-sea-going ship, designed within the frame of the Eureka "Baltecologicalship" project. Requirements of ship classification societies, and general ones for modern ship control systems were presented, as well as a review and analysis of currently applied power plant automation systems for diesel- electric ships fitted with podded propulsion drive (POD), were performed. Moreover real ways and possibilities of controlling ship s course and speed were indicated. Information contained in this paper may facilitate selecting appropriate design assumptions for a propulsion control system to be applied on the above mantioned ships.
