This paper is an analysis of the possibilities of using a Raspberry Pi microcomputer on a ship. The paper is an introduction characterizing the project goal and its main assumptions. It includes a brief history of shipping development and the current use of computer systems on board merchant ships. Also meteorological devices have been characterized that can be used on the ship to obtain weather data. The paper also includes description of the Raspberry Pi microcomputer, its specification and operating systems on which the device works. The project of a station is designed to measure the value of air and water temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
