Berthing Aid System

The Straatman Berthing Aid System, also recognized as the Docking Aid System, employs state-of-the-art laser and LED technologies. This innovative system calculates the distance between the jetty and the side of incoming vessels using laser precision. On both a standard PC and a large LED display, you can view these measurements, which include distance (for both Bow and Aft), approach speed, and angle. To ensure a safe mooring, the LED display also provides crucial information such as wind speed, current status, wave conditions, and more.
