Navicom Dynamics’ Precision Navigation system, the CanalPilot, is the ultimate tool for total situational awareness to ensure safe navigation of vessels through the Panama Canal.
We're proud to announce the CanalPilot has completed and passed all required testing with the Panama Canal Authority (ACP). The CanalPilot is an approved non-portable pilotage unit for Neo-Panamax vessels transiting the Panama Canal.
CanalPilot receives accurate and real-time vessel dynamics information on any number of screens to equip the vessels’ navigational crew and key personnel and synchronise operations and communication.
CanalPilot is user-friendly and becomes a familiar secondary source of reliable and accurate information which is independent of the ships’ navigational systems.
It is a non-portable pilotage system and fully compliant with the Panama Canal Authority's requirements as set out in their Advisory To Shipping No. A-32-2022.
With the CanalPilot, you can:
Facilitate critical decision making during ship-handling and improve safety of crucial manoeuvres
Easily add-on shore based data from a server to enhance the information modules to include weather, tides, DUKC and other critical data to support navigation.
Use it as a fall back navigational system that can optionally include battery back-up to provide a totally independent navigational tool in case all else fails.
Performance Features & Usability
Independent of vessel: The system is entirely independent of the vessel. It is a secondary source of vital vessel information that supports critical decision-making during manoeuvres.
