Piloting with AD Navigation

The modern Ship Pilot utilizes PPU systems independent of the instruments onboard the ship in order to ensure the highest level of safety and security. 

Merged with local knowledge, the Pilot would by this have the best possible foundation to carry out the service. From the moment the Pilot has embarked the ship, the PPU will assist during several different scenarios and applications.

Why choose the ADX Portable Pilot Unit?

Ultra Precise Lock Approach and Docking - every time!

Take the ADX PPU tour ›

Docking

The video shows an example of how the ADX XR system is utilized during docking. The ultra high accuracy of the unique ADX XR system makes it more accurate and reliable compared to laser docking systems. This sample is from Hamburg, Germany on the 334 x 43 m long container vessel “CSCL Europe”.

Turn, Prediction and docking

The video shows an example of how the ADX XR system is utilized during turn and docking on the 366 m long "Cosco Excellence" in Antwerpen, Belgium.

Lock approach

The video shows an example of how the ADX XR system is used when ULCV is approaching locks. By utilizing the Ultra Precise ADX XR system, the risk of maneuvering big vessels under slow dynamics and in confined waters is reduced dramatically. This sample is from the 366 x 52 m vessel "MSC Gaia" approaching the Berendrecht lock in Antwerpen, Belgium.

Lock entry

The video shows an example of how the ADX XR system is used when ULCV is entering narrow locks. By utilizing the Ultra Precise ADX XR system, the risk of maneuvering big vessels under slow dynamics is reduced dramatically. This sample is from the 366 x 52 m vessel "MSC Gaia" entering the Berendrecht lock in Antwerpen, Belgium.

Passing Bridges in Channels

The video shows an example of how the ADX XR system is utilized when passing bridges in a tight channel. This sample is from Gent Channel, Belgium. Especially when visibility is reduced, the ADX XR system is of undisputed value.

Meeting Points

This video shows an example of how the ADX XR system is used to determine Meeting Points in the narrow Gent Channel, Belgium.
