There are many demands for ship control system and many studies have been proposed. For example, if a ship diesel engine is operated by consolidated control with Controllable Pitch Propeller(CPP), the minimum fuel consumption is achieved, satisfying the demanded ship speed. For this, it is necessary that the ship is operated on the ideal operating line which satisfies the minimum fuel consumption. In this context of view, this paper presents a controller design method for a ship propulsion system with CPP by Linear Matrix Inequality(LMI) which satisfies the given $H_{infty}$ control performance and robust stability in the presence of physical parameter perturbations. The validity and applicability of this approach are illustrated through a simulation in the all operating ranges.
