SafePilot-Captain-thumb2

Overview

SafeCaptain is a high-accuracy navigation tool for marine captains. Its software runs on an iPad and displays official S-57/S-63 sea charts with dedicated overlays to allow for precise vessel navigation. The system combines an interface box that is independent of the ship and an app that provides a portable display for the captain and/or the helmsman.

This enables the user to accurately monitor the vessel’s movements in constrained waterways. The system consists of a high-accuracy global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and an advanced motion sensor that measures the ship’s movement in three dimensions. SafeCaptain also computes the vessel’s position and heading based on the two GNSS antennas, will even work under a blackout.
