ChannelPilot offers freedom from the Pilot Plug. It is a cost-effective, semi-independent PPU, offering a combination of independent mGNSS positioning and highly accurate rate-of-turn with semi-independent heading data. ChannelPilot also offers excellent independent AIS target reception and is an outstanding aid to narrow channel navigation, as well as supporting restricted manoeuvres in some circumstances. With appropriate software, ChannelPilot offers many safety benefits, including assistance in poor visibility as well as the ability to receive SBAS corrections (where available). ChannelPilot is a superb alternative to other high-end Portable Pilot Units.

Video Operation of POD Ships - Discussion on Efficiency comparing Conventional and IN-OUT POD strategy
published on 8 June 2022
In this movie the efficiency of two different pod operation strategies is compared: With azimuth propeller ships the Pods can be used in two ways to control the speed, e.g. for speed reduction: 1. by adjusting the engine orders, e.g. by reducing the RPMs to get lower speed - this means to drive the ship in the same conventional way as for twin screw vessels, 2. by turning both pods either in- or outward (TOE-IN or TOE-OUT) to reduce the forward thrust and therefore reducing the speed – the...
