PortWeb connects a wide range of sensors to enable comprehensive monitoring and management of vessels within ports and waterways — IALA standards compliant.
PortWeb has a comprehensive suite of services and connects a wide range of sensors that enables the monitoring and management of ships within ports and waterways. Each operator position can have more than one independent Electronic Chart System displayed, allowing monitoring and/or management of one or more areas simultaneously. PortWeb includes comprehensive AIS AtoN management systems. The ability to send and receive a wide range of AIS messages including the IMO Circular SN.1 289 is unique to the PortWeb VTS.
A range of radars can be connected to the PortWeb system, from low-cost solid state dome radars through to 18ft solid state radars used for large ports. Radar connection can be augmented with Pan, Zoom and Tilt (PTZ) CCTV cameras, enabling tracking of vessels using Radar, AIS and/or CCTV capabilities simultaneously.
The connection of meteorological and hydrographic sensors using IoT technologies enables the accurate and up-to-date transmission of IMO-specified messages — keeping operators informed of real-time environmental conditions.
A Port Information Management System (PIMS), the Voyage Manager, allows the management of vessels from Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) to Actual Time of Departure (ATD). The movement between berths and the interaction with tugboats and pilot boats can be recorded, along with visit notes.
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 the vessels as a separate layer with different symbology that can be switched on and off as required.
