CanalPilot

Product Details

CanalPilot receives accurate and real-time vessel dynamics information on any number of screens to equip the vessels’ navigational crew and key personnel and synchronise operations and communication. 
CanalPilot is user-friendly and becomes a familiar secondary source of reliable and accurate information which is independent of the ships’ navigational systems. 
It is a non-portable pilotage system and fully compliant with the Panama Canal Authority's requirements as set out in their Advisory To Shipping No. A-32-2022. 
With the CanalPilot, you can:
- Facilitate critical decision making during ship-handling and improve safety of crucial manoeuvres
- Easily add-on shore based data from a server to enhance the information modules to include weather, tides, DUKC and other critical data to support navigation.
- Use it as a fall back navigational system that can optionally include battery back-up to provide a totally independent navigational tool in case all else fails.

Performance Features & Usability
Independent of vessel: The system is entirely independent of the vessel. It is a secondary source of vital vessel information that supports critical decision-making during manoeuvres.
Critical information source/data points: Get accurate Position, Heading, Rate-of-turn, COG, SOG and other useful data to create a stable image of the vessel on the chart display software with optional future vessel path predictions.
Situational awareness: Increased situational awareness of the vessel and its surroundings made available on as many displays as required (to equip entire crew).
Portability: Information available on portable displays (tablets/iPads), allows the crew to easily walk around the bridge wing or any location that has been set up.
Extendibility: Add-on any number of screens to interface with CanalPilot to provide the same accurate & real-time information to additional crew members for a synchronised operation. Add-on shore based data points from a server to the software to appear as integrated information to the user (with the original data points from the PPU).
Premium Quality: High quality sensors with advanced technology to form state-of-the-art systems that are accurate, reliable and user-friendly.
User-oriented, feature-rich software: A number of useful features to improve training, usability, safety and for personal enhancement.
