Marshlands Consulting Ltd

PPU consultants to Ports, Pilot Groups and Mooring Masters Berthing Aid Systems for Offshore Oil and Gas Industry The challenge for ports and pilots is that ships are steadily increasing in size, yet the infrastructure, channels, berths, is barely keeping pace. Close proximity to obstacles and other vessels, calls for tools that provide pilots maximum situational awareness. An absolute and undeniable representation of the vessel under pilotage, on a marine chart detailing Precise Heading, Rate of Turn, Position, approach speed, angle and distance to the berth. A correctly set up and used PPU can provide the peace of mind to a pilot and support his/her critical thinking and decision process, by supplying accurate reliable data on which to base a decision, helm or tug order. We work with ports, pilots, mooring masters to select PPU sensors, displays, and software suitable to the task, and level of technology, expectations and ability. We then assist in training or arrange training with fellow pilots well experienced in use of the equipment and software. Equipment can supported via remote, real time access. Return to Base or On Site service options available.
