A system and method for determining and displaying the suitability of water conditions in a zone for the launch or recovery of a smaller craft (10, Fig 1) from or to a host ship (12, Fig 1) is disclosed. The system and method detect one or more external environment parameters such as the height, direction and period of the swell, and one or more parameters relating to the ship operating conditions such as the heading, speed, pitch and roll angles, and processes these to determine the suitability of the conditions for launch or recovery. The processing may include comparing some of the detected values with pre-stored data comprising limit values and value ranges. The host ship may have a well dock (14, Fig 1) and the system may be operable to provide an indication of the suitability of the conditions for launch or recovery in the well dock. |
