NOTICE! One control head at least must be provided at one of
the control stations to assure the operability of the main ship
drives in case of a joystick failure.
2.7 Operator‘s obligations
The ship's operator must test the system before every cruise.
The entire ship control system must be tested and inspected at
regular intervals in compliance to seaman's duty. This extensive
WARNING
Risk of damage to persons and property as a result of changing essential control
parameters while the ship is in motion
If the basic setup of control parameters is changed while the ship is in motion, this may lead
to sudden and uncontrolled ship movements.
O Only change basic control parameters with the engine in stop while the ship is anchored
or moored.
O Fine adjustments during a sea trial are only admissible after prior consultation of the
ship‘s captain. The safety of the crew and other waterway users must not be
endangered.
O Parameters in Marex 3D must only be changed by qualified personnel as per chapter 2.4.
Appropriate steps must be taken to prevent that control is lost over the ship as a result of
erroneous parameter entries (ensure local operation of gearbox, engine, thrusters).
CAUTION
Risk of damage to persons and property as a consequence of uncoordinated thruster
operation
There is a risk of accident if the thrusters are operated from different controls at the same
time.
O Make sure the thrusters are only operated by one person at a time.
O Disable the thruster operation at all other control stations, including any supplementary
thruster controls by other manufacturers, as long as the thrusters are being operated
from a Marex 3D control station. This is a safety requirement for ships with classification
approval.

inspection includes a test of the propulsion control and all
control stations, visual check of outdoor stations for water
tightness, a general function test as well as an inspection for the
integrity of all components, see also chapter 8, Maintenance and
Repair, on page 91.
2.8 Protective devices
2.8.1 Emergency stop
Marex 3D must only be operated with a separate emergency
stop provided on every control station. It is not included in any
of the Marex systems. It must be fully operational at all times,
especially in case of a remote control failure. Normally, the
emergency stop is part of the ship’s safety system.
2.8.2 Visual alarms and acoustic signals
Marex ship controls provide extensive self-diagnostics and
monitor permanently the condition of components and ship
drives. In case of a failure, the operator is alerted by visual and
acoustic signals on control head or joystick station. There are
different alarm signals depending on the impact of the failure on
the operability of the drives. Every alarm must be acknowledged
by pushing a corresponding key. The MarexOSIII control units
and 3D Controller provide an error display by means of which it
is possible to identify alarm causes.
Refer to chapter 10, Troubleshooting, for details on alarms
and troubleshooting within Marex 3D.
For alarms in the MarexOSII/III-system refer to the
MarexOSII service manual, chapter 3.
For Marex ECS, refer to the Marex ECS Quick Guide. See
also chapter 1.2 of this manual, Required and additional
documentation, on page 6.

4 About this product
4.1 Performance description
Marex 3D is a simple and intuitive tool for easy docking at slow
speeds. Its main operating element is a joystick which the
operator can rotate and/or push. Marex 3D converts the
movement of the joystick into movement of the ship by actuating
the available drives in an intelligent way. Marex 3D is suitable
for ships with fixed propellers.
Marex 3D features three operation modes:
In the 3D-mode, the operator uses the joystick to control the
main engines and thrusters. If an optional heading sensor is
connected, the control is able to compensate effects due to

crosswind or current and keep the heading of the ship in a
constant direction as the joystick is moved.
In the thruster mode, the joystick is used to operate the
thrusters only while the main engines are operated via a control
head.
In addition, Marex 3D features a Heading Mode function which
can be switched on by the Heading Mode key at the joystick. The
function is available only if an optional heading sensor is
connected. It allows to hold the bow of the ship automatically in
a constant direction while the joystick is released and in the
Neutral position.
Marex 3D can be operated from up to six joystick stations.
No further operating elements for thrusters are required on the
control station. The joystick combines the operation of bow and
stern thrusters so that all maneuvers can be performed with
more comfort and precision.
A software tool is available to adapt the settings of Marex 3D to
the ship’s requirements. Individual adjustments can be made
for every maneuver. For the protection of electric ON/OFF-
thrusters, it is possible to define that turning maneuvers which
are made when the ship is already in motion are executed by
using the main engines only. Warnings from alternative thruster
controls can be processed.
Trolling is also available in the 3D mode.

the 3D Controller (Joystick CAN bus). Additionally, one NMEA
2000 bus cable is connected between the 3D Controller and the
heading sensor (NMEA 2000 bus).
In applications with Marex ECS, the 3D Controller is connected
to the STATION bus line between Marex ECS control unit and the
first control head. The connection of joysticks and the heading
sensor is identical to applications with Marex OS III.
The following figures show the system setup with Marex OS III
and Marex ECS.
