Berthing Aid System

Straatman's Berthing Aid System, commonly known as the Docking Aid System, incorporates cutting-edge laser and LED technology. This system calculates the distance between the jetty and an approaching vessel's side using precise laser measurements. Users can view data such as distance (for both Bow and Aft), speed of approach, and angle on a regular computer and a high-definition LED screen. Moreover, this LED display provides essential data like wind speed, current, wave conditions, and more to guarantee a secure mooring.
