Docking Aid Systems
SmartHook® is a family of docking aid systems (DAS) used by jetty operators and pilots to monitor the approach and docking of berthing vessels. Systems design is based on lasers, differential GPS or Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS technologies.
Various standard and customized designs are available to meet the widest range of berthing situations, including fender impact management.
SmartDock® Laser
SmartDock® Laser systems use highly accurate laser sensors to measure vessel approach and docking.
SmartDock® GPS
Our GPS solutions offer high precision navigation and berthing where the rate of turn and heading accuracy is better than the ship’s own onboard equipment.
