PortWeb enables the monitoring of small or remote ports from a central location, providing full situational awareness without the need for permanent on-site staffing.
PortWeb has been designed to enable the monitoring of small and/or remote ports from a central location by installing only the sensors — radar, AIS receivers, CCTV and weather sensors — in the remote port and connecting these to a suitable, low-cost, power-efficient Edge Node.
This sensor system is then connected to PortWeb via the internet, allowing the monitoring and/or management of that port from a wide range of remote locations with all the features available to a large port Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system.
The sensor suite can be installed on a suitable low-cost mast, provided it has a clear view of the area of interest and a suitable power and broadband connection to the internet is available. This makes PortWeb Remote an excellent fit for developing ports, island ports, and unmanned terminals.
PortWeb allows the tracking of land-side port assets using 3GPP (GSM) — such as staff transport and other critical assets — displayed on the same ECS as vessels as a different layer with different symbology that can be toggled on and off as required.
