Imagine a boat that doesn't just sail—it actually flies above the water! 🚤⚡ In this video, you'll discover the world's first 100% electric hydrofoil pilot boat, a revolutionary innovation that is changing the future of marine transportation. Instead of pushing through the water like traditional boats, this incredible vessel lifts itself above the surface using advanced hydrofoil technology. The result is a smoother ride, significantly lower energy consumption, reduced drag, and zero direct...

Case Study Video:
BHP - a global mining company and port owner – asked us to develop a test set-up to see what happens during a snapback event and evaluate their safety protection fence. The test data helped in the development of a safer protection fence and gave real insight into snapback behaviour.
Collaboration with BHP, Geobrugg and Wilhelmsen.

With approval from the Danish Emergency Management Agency, DanPilot and Danelec are now initiating a test program for remote pilotage – the first of its kind in the world.

This important topic is still underestimated in shipping! Can you trust your GPS? Your Galileo? Knowing where the ship is and where to sail next is the main task of navigating a ship and is commonly supported by using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). But what happens if the GNSS gets intentionally disturbed?

The use of historical navigation data by ports is essential for safety investigations globally. In the digital age, a wealth of pilotage data is available, aiding operations and training but potentially causing stress if misused.

OHB subsidiary LuxSpace’s satellite for global ship monitoring has reached its target orbit.

To better bundle all articles and messages about Marine / Maritime Pilots I would like to suggest the Hashtag #MARINEPILOTS. We can use it well here on LinkedIn, but also for other social media like Twitter.
