"A vital asset during the operation"
Zakher Marine International Inc
"The Bosporus Strait is well recognised as being a hazardous area for navigation. Despite the bridges and other obstacles, which actually interrupted other satellite-based reference systems onboard, we were able to reference our position continuously, only because we had DPS 4D. The availability of position data helps to improve safety and efficiency of operations and I'm confident that DPS 4D will enhance future navigation and manoeuvring operations for Leiv Eiriksson."
"SpotTrack performed during the whole operation without any interrupt or degradation, and was a vital asset during the operation. Based on the proven performance and stability of the solution, SpotTrack is the preferred laser-based relative positioning solution for Zakher Marine International Inc."
Product range
RADius
RADius is developed for applications in need for a robust and reliable relative positioning system. Many applications can benefit from RADius in operations, as there are different types of retro-reflective transponders, and different types of installation of the interrogators.
XPR
The XPR 100 is a microwave-based system, developed for DP applications in need of long-range relative positioning. With no moving parts and with its compact and lightweight design, installation is quick and agile.
DPS
Recognized by the industry as the leading solution for reliable DP reference sensor, blending all available GNSS infrastructure. A wide range of different models cover all requirements for positioning in any environment.
SpotTrack
SpotTrack is a reference system for relative positioning in DP operations. The SpotTrack sensor is a robust, motion stabilised, rotating laser sensor, which measures range and bearing to one or several retro-reflective targets installed on the target platform or vessel.
DARPS
DARPS is a DP position reference system tailor made for offshore loading operations. The DARPS system combines high-performance sensors for reliable and accurate absolute and relative positioning of two vessels such as a shuttle tanker and an FPSO/FSU.
