The article deals with the issues of automatic control of the vessel's movement under external conditions of wind and current.A brief review of the sources was carried out and the limitations of the traditional control schemes with one stern rudder were shown.A control scheme with additional bow rudder has been proposed.It allows to reduce fuel consumption, the number of actuations of actuators and to increase reliability through redundancy management.A comparison of the proposed and traditional control schemes for mathematical modeling in the MATLAB environment has been made.
