Berthing Aid System

The Straatman Berthing Aid System, often referred to as the Docking Aid System, incorporates the latest in laser and LED technology. This system gauges the gap between the jetty and the flank of an oncoming vessel using laser tech. You can access measurements, including the distance from both Bow and Aft, approach speed, and angle, on a typical computer or a large LED screen. Moreover, this LED screen can display vital metrics like wind speed, current flow, wave conditions, and more, all critical for secure mooring.

How does the Berthing Aid System work?

The system employs lasers to determine the space between the jetty and the side of a nearing vessel. This data is showcased on both a jetty-based screen and within the control room. Our affiliated firm, FactoryLab, produces the LED display technology. 

We offer a host of supplementary features, such as communication via wireless tablets and advanced pager systems. With all our system expertise housed under one roof, we guarantee adaptability and a wide array of customisation possibilities. Whatever your project specifics, don't hesitate to share with us; we excel at meeting unique challenges.
