The CanalPilot is an approved non-portable pilotage unit for Neo-Panamax vessels transiting the Panama Canal. Navicom Dynamics’ Precision Navigation system, the CanalPilot, is the ultimate tool for total situational awareness to ensure safe navigation of vessels through the Panama Canal. CanalPilot receives accurate and real-time vessel dynamics information on any number of screens to equip the vessels’ navigational crew and key personnel and synchronise operations and communication. CanalPilot is user-friendly and becomes a familiar secondary source of reliable and accurate information which is independent of the ships’ navigational systems. It is a non-portable pilotage system and fully compliant with the Panama Canal Authority's requirements as set out in their Advisory To Shipping No. A-32-2022.

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) involves the automation of vessel and onboard processes which could alter how ports and ships interface with each other. The BPA which represents the majority of UK port activity including 85% of the shipping movements in and out of the country, is keen to explore what the future developments of shipping will mean for the sector.
