Overview
Integrating multiple information sources – including vessel movement data, charts, weather forecasts, AIS and tug positions– the intelligent filtering system ensures pilots are presented with only the relevant details to avoid misinformation and to improve response and decision-making time. This enables safer, more efficient and more sustainable piloting and navigation operations within the port environment.
Please refer to our latest SafePilot Brochure for more information.
Software / Features
Pro Navigation
General navigation data and features - planning, route, arrival times, recordings, charts handling, predictions and history, support of external navigational data source (PPU), distance lines, safety contours, no go areas, CPA and TCPA and simulation tool of port manoeuvres for e.g. passage planning or training purposes
Docking & Alignment
Enhanced features such as shoulder distance to fender lines, docking display, transverse speed, berthing angle
Lock
Alignment guidance for lock approach and departure, distances towards lock gates fore and aft, status of lock gates (open/closed) through sensors integration via server, distances to lock walls from vessel shoulders fore and aft
River
Module with quick jump between multiple locations of interest, meeting point with time (relative to route), drag meeting point with required speed info
AUKC
Under Keel Clearance(UKC) systems is used for describing the amount of water from the ship’s keel to the seabed to determine the optimum time for passing the constrained waterway/ the tidal window
Weather data
Live Weather data can be viewed on SafePilot – including tide, current, wave, wind, visibility
Shoreviewer
A shoreside planning and overview system giving real time remote monitoring of PPU’s and local traffic – distribution of charts, routes, fender lines and annotations. Re-player allows review of pilotage routes and actual historical pilotages for training and development
Anti-jamming / Spoofing
A class-leading anti-jamming/spoofing system that immediately alerts the user should there be any concern on external data quality or compromise
CarePack
Provides user with peace of mind hardware and software support 24/7/365 – with a dedicated European support team including annual service of units.
