Overview
With global trade surging and larger vessels navigating increasingly congested ports, the need for enhanced safety and operational precision has never been greater. SmartDAS, Trelleborg’s compact Docking Aid System, leverages advanced laser technology to provide operators with continuous, real-time updates on vessel distance, velocity, and approach angle. It meticulously tracks vessel positioning, giving vessel operators real-time situational awareness and enabling precise adjustments during the critical moments of docking.
SmartDAS also features automated alerts to help port and vessel operators reduce incidents, shorten turnaround times, and support safer, smarter, and more efficient docking.
Powered by SmartPort technology, SmartDAS securely collects and stores docking data in the cloud. Real-time streaming enables instant decision-making during critical operations, while historical data is easily accessible for in-depth reporting and analysis. Operators can view this data live, from onboard the vessel, on the dock, in the port control room, or remotely via any connected device.
