5 LAPTOP / TABLET / PHONE - Calculations Wind Pressure Deep Draught Channel Navigation & Emergency Manoeuvring Squat

6 LAPTOP / TABLET / PHONE Online Information Tides, Currents, Water Level Manuals / Guidelines / Regulations / Berth information (Pushed from office) Pilot planning system (Roster) Windforce / Waveheight / Swell

7 HIGH END PPU Navigator Marginal Ships (NMS) LOW END PPU Qastor Lite Deep draught / ULCV / Special objects Precision Navigation Mooring operations Path Prediction All ships Situational Awareness

8 Qastor Lite Situational Awareness 1 Real-time Hydro/Meteo sensors: -tide -current -wind -visibility Annotations containing additional Berth Information

9 Qastor Light Situational Awareness 2 Traffic - AIS targets Traffic - VTS feed Accurate & up-to Date Depth Information

10 NMS Navigator Marginal Ships Deep draught vessels Special objects ULCV Fully independent of any ships instruments Using GPS and GLONASS satellites on both L1 and L2 frequencies EGNOS or RTK corrections Providing stable and accurate HDG, RoT, SoG, CoG, side speed on bow and stern without significant delay HDG backed up with RoT sensor and with Kalman filtering Presentation on ruggedized laptop with high-density ENC s Additional info via UMTS data stream: VTS and Hydro-Meteo

11 NMS Precision Navigation 1 Cruise Vessel manoeuvring in swinging basin PTA-Amsterdam Special Object

12 NMS Precision Navigation 2 Passing Caland-bridge showing transverse distances by use of Lock Appoach mode
