The information can be displayed in several ways. A 'traffic light' indicator gives indications concerning the approach of the vessel. The red light indicates danger, the orange is a warning indication and the green light the safe indication. A large numeric display, including the traffic light can be added that shows continuous data regarding speed of approach, distance and angle of the vessel. The iMoor application software can display the approach graphically. Handheld devices can support the iMoor application software to make the information accessible from the bridge or jetty as well. The integration of the Berthing Approach System with other iMoor components can provide synergy advantages. The iMoor application software and handheld devices can be used for berthing a vessel and subsequently for monitoring the hooks when the vessel is moored. The information provided to the pilot can include local weather information as well, if the iMoor module Environment Monitoring is added. |
