Extract

Vessel damage incurred by ships manoeuvring in restricted waters and during berthing operations has identified a need for a precise navigation system that would give a master positional information of a high degree of accuracy in a simple visual manner. Such a system would improve operations in marginal weather conditions and decrease turn-around time for the regular port user.

Drawing upon its offshore survey and positioning experience, Wimpol Ltd has developed a precise vessel positioning system which meets a demanding specification with regard to accuracy, reliability and simplicity of operation.
