AIS Chartware for Felixstowe

Fugro Survey s GeoSoft Solutions division , also based in Great Yarmouth, has received an order from the Port of Felixstowe for installation and client specification development of its ChartViewAIS technology.

As with other Veripos global coverage, the new DGPS network permits computing of multiple reference station solutions for added reliability and precision.

It will enable the Port to monitor, record, analyse and replay vessel Automatic Identification System (AIS) data in conjunction with hydrographic vector and ARCS charts as well as embedded third- party datasets. This, it says, will ensure more efficient supervision of safety, security and vessel management operations.

The system will be deployed and utilised for analysis of all vessel movements via the Port’s main control tower and desks of relevant managers. The contract provisions also include a ChartViewAIS Logger, three suites of ChartViewAIS, onsite installation and training, and client-specific software development. Intranet browserbased viewing licences are also in the course of development.
