Grimaldi Satellite Assisted Berthing

Register for Final Presentation of the NAVISP EL2-122 Project: GSAB – Grimaldi Satellite Assisted Berthing"

GSAB – Grimaldi Satellite Assisted Berthing is a premiere and flagship project, awarded by ESA – NAVISP 2 program to an international consortium led by Grimaldi Euromed S.p.A. in partnership with Kongsberg Seatex (Norway) and Radiolabs Consortium targeting the assisted berthing operations with big vessels as the PCTC – Pure Car & Truck Carriers.

GSAB, introducing latest innovations on satellite-based multi-sensor technologies, contributed to improve the efficiency of manoeuvres in the port and to increase the safety while reducing CO2 emissions in line with the strategy of a greener and safer maritime transport. The first phase was dedicated to the design of the equipment and related laboratory tests and pre-installation of the system on board the ship.

The Project aimed to:

1. Increase the degree of confidence in the actual capabilities of the technologies available today;
2. Evaluate the economic benefits deriving from navigation systems in order to test and validate the business models;
3. Verify the degree of acceptance of new technologies by personnel and the most suitable change management policies;
4. Evaluate the required knowledge / training necessary for the correct use of the system by the crew.

The NAVISP Project EL2-122 “GSAB-Grimaldi Satellite Assisted Berthing “ was funded by NAVISP Element 2, which is devoted to supporting competitiveness of European industries.
