INSTRUMENTATION IS KEY
Navigating 300m+ containerships up the Yarra River into Swanson Dock or manoeuvring Aframax tankers into confined berth pockets is no small feat. To give our pilots the best instrumental information possible, we built our own customised solution.
In 2015 PPSP developed and built inhouse our bespoke Personal Piloting Units (PPU). This high-end system utilises an Australian designed and built integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and RTK GNSS, providing the most accurate heading, ROT, speed, positioning and predictive vectors available in the industry.
If you are interested in adopting this technology for your own navigational needs, talk to us.
