SafePilot CAT MAX


by Trelleborg Marine Systems Denmark A/S 205 -

Trelleborg's SafePilot CAT MAX solution is developed for applications requiring the highest positioning accuracy, for instance, piloting in confined waters, offshore operations, and so on.

It is a dual antenna solution consisting of heading and positioning units. The system is completely independent and does not rely on the ship's instrumentation.

The CAT MAX units communicate with each other and the pilot's display via Wi-FI, ensuring a stable and long range connection.

The built-in three-axis motion sensor offers precise and independent rate of turn, roll, and pitch, allowing for very accurate predictions when doing turns and navigating in confined waters.
