Hydraulic systems are used mainly because the steering gear requires a large power source from the ship`s operation as a key drive that enables the setting and operation of the course. The hydraulic steering is divided into a swash plate control method of a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic valve control method according to a driving method, and classified into a ram and a vane type according to the steering unit. In this study, we construct a simulation model using AMESim S/W and analyze the characteristics of the basic steering system. Also, operation performance and energy efficiency are analyzed according to the steering system. Through analysis of the steering system, the problem of the existing steering system is finally analyzed and the steering is optimally designed.
