Abstract
An apparatus for integrally managing a ship includes a device manager for integrally managing different types of local ship devices in the ship by using a standardized protocol message; a local device manager for managing local ship devices in a legacy environment on the basis of an independent local protocol; and an inter-working framework (IWF) for performing translation of a protocol for compatibility between the standardized protocol and the independent local protocol to manage the different types of local ship devices between the device manager and the local device manager. The device manager receives a remote control instruction for remotely maintaining and repairing the local ship device from a remote server connected through a wired/wireless communication network.
