MARINE PILOTS OPPORTUNITY

Vessels are required by law to have a trained maritime pilot on board responsible for safely navigating the ship to its desired destination. However, ensuring safe navigation inside dock environments is demanding as mistakes can be extremely costly, time-consuming to correct, and even fatal. An assisting tool working autonomously to support the maritime pilot by predicting possible collisions would lower the risk involved with navigating the vessel.

The vulnerability of GNSS in shore-based use is definitely different and to be regarded as much more risky than on the high seas.
