The problems we are addressing with our

advanced technology solutions….

Growing trends & demands in the maritime industry – Needs addressing

Ships are getting bigger with different equipment from ship to ship.

Information from the Ships instruments can be prone to errors or failure.

Vessel traffic is increasing especially near ports and harbours.

Tighter maneuvering margins and smaller error margins.

Greater attention to safety and efficiency by regulatory authorities.

Ports are expanding to accommodate increase in volume and traffic.

Ports are expanding by making high investments in infrastructure resulting

in greater risk of losses if damage occurs.

Shorter turn-around times make a high pressure work environment.

Pressures to reduce operational costs in the work environment.

Advancements in technology are leading to growing adoption of it. PPU use is

in fact mandatory in many ports & terminals across the world

What is a Portable Pilot Unit?

A Portable Pilot Unit is an electronic aid to navigation. It is a

portable electronic system that gives the user a true representation

of what is happening outside the window, on a screen, along with

other useful data.

It is a system which consists of the following components:• Sensors (Hardware) • Display (Laptop/Tablet)• Software (ECS)• Charts (ENC)

What data can we get from a PPU?

Use of PPUs has various benefits

Get real-time SITUATIONAL AWARENESS on ECS

Accuracy, reliability and familiarity for the user. Becomes an

invaluable companion tool.

Usage helps increase safety due to increased accurate & real-

time situational awareness.

Complete Situational Awareness of the ship-handling operation

and surrounding elements.

Easy to carry, lightweight and portable. Yet rugged and robust

for tough conditions.

Secondary source of information (to validate information from

primary sources).

Invaluable in confined manoeuvres, low visibility and rough

weather conditions.

Usage helps increase work efficiency by reducing downtime

and errors or repeat attempts.

What Our customers say about us…

"This is one more way to ensure greater security, so that we can make a manoeuvre in adverse conditions and in confined

spaces such as we have in the Port of Santos." - Bruno Tavares, Pilot, Port of Santos.

"I can do a better job using your equipment. This is after eight weeks of using your equipment and twenty eight years of

traditional piloting.

By using the predictor and rate of turn combined with speed, the ship can be kept precisely on the designated track around

bends in a narrow channel. It is further evident to me that I appear to learn from the equipment.

By using the equipment and also looking out the window I believe I have increased the database on which my mental

assessments are made. My pilotage skills without the equipment are thereby improved.“ - Captain Ted Lyons, Senior

Marine Pilot, Australia.

""Being able to use the ShuttlePilot equipment to predict where the FSO was going to be at the end of her swing, and hence

line the tanker up ready for her, probably saved two or three hours of chasing her tail during the swing" - Capt. David

Fortnum, Pilot, Bayu Undan FPSO operations, Australia

“Quick set-up. In most instances I have the PPU running with software in under 3 minutes. This is critical when boarding

vessels in strong currents. As a pilot I don’t just rely on one source of information.

The ChannelPilot has become an important addition to the navigation aids available to me on the vessel.

This PPU unit, combined with my visual reference, the radars and fathometer make my situational awareness much better

- Captain David Adrian, Matagorda Bay Pilots, USA.

“I’ve found GyroPilot’s ROT to be spot on and battery life to be excellent. Another pilot in our association has ordered one

based on my relating my experience with GyroPilot. Also, I can’t say enough good things about the after sales support I have

received.” – Captain Mike O’Brien, Mississippi River Pilots, USA.
