What’s new: A discussion of the importance of GPS/GNSS to maritime – especially in ports. This is the first discussion of its type we have seen.
Why it’s important:
- Safety: Ship size, channel width, channel depth, bridges and other obstructions make precise electronic navigation critical in ports, because often the pilot and captain can’t see all they need to see.
- Make More Money: With resilient electronic navigation ports could better operate in night and reduced visibility conditions increasing through put and efficiency.
What else to know: Matt Shirley is the primary author and an experienced port/harbor pilot.
