The IMPA has published on 30th June 2020 a letter about crew exchange in times of corona. Read the letter here:

The #ESAIL #microsatellite for tracking ships worldwide was launched. This is the first maritime satellite of its kind produced and assembled in Luxembourg. Hear from #Luxembourg Minister of the Economy Franz Fayot about this pioneering #ESA partnership project developed with #LuxSpace and #Exactearth.

Today I will discuss a very simple and useful practical trick often used by pilots.

When we have to berth a vessel with small clearances forward and aft (say 20 to 25 mtr fwd and aft) it is very essential that you are able to estimate your position. Now most of the time you have a berthing supervisor on jetty who will help you with position.

STABLEonboard drone platforms are the enabler for maritime drone operations! Neutralizing roll and pitch movements, thereby securing calibration of drone sensors, and providing safer take-off and landing in rough seas.
