Berthing Approach System

Good judgement of low speeds during the final approach of a vessel is crucial for the safety of the operation, but can be difficult to make. The Berthing Approach System (BAS) uses lasers to measure the speed of approach, angle and distance between vessel and jetty up to 300 meters. The real-time information assists pilots and crew in making an accurate judgement that makes the berthing operation safer.

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.
