Abstract

The paper discusses the errors of the most widespread mechanical inclinometers installed on the ship bridge. There errors are caused by the effect of translational accelerations at the device installation point during pitching/rolling, and can reach significant values. To eliminate this problem, a new electronic inclinometer has been developed. Its operation algorithms, simulation and bench-test results are presented to confirm that the angles of pitching/rolling can be measured with the accuracy meeting the requirements of the Russian Maritime Register of Ship**. The importance of measuring the heel of small fishing vessels to ensure their safe operation is emphasized. The accuracy of this parameter measurements taken with the new device is estimated.
