NAVITRAK

Berthing Aid · Port Traffic · One Platform

Berth with precision. See the whole port.

A next-generation berthing aid system for oil & gas terminals, LNG receiving terminals, FSOs and FSRUs — built around 3D LiDAR and laser sensor fusion, synchronised to live AIS, multi-camera CCTV and on-site weather.

One-Line

Positioning / 02

Precision 3D berthing. Live port awareness. One platform.

Where conventional laser systems measure two distances to a hull, NaviTrak fuses 3D LiDAR with AIS, CCTV, weather, fender analytics and zone-based alerting — monitoring every approach, contact and departure with millisecond fidelity. The same platform doubles as the terminal's live port traffic monitor.

Beyond a Laser System

Category / 03

The laser stays. Everything around it changes.

Conventional Berthing Aid

Two distances to a hull.

  • —Two laser distance points
  • —Approach speed at the laser plane
  • —Standalone monitor at the berth
  • —Manual log of vessel and outcome
  • —No live port traffic context
  • —No replay; no audit-grade record

NaviTrak · Next Generation

The full hull, the full port, one record.

  • +3D LiDAR + laser fusion across the approach window
  • +Synchronised AIS — vessel ID, dimensions, track
  • +Multi-camera CCTV with auto-cued PTZ presets
  • +Wind, gust, wave and tide bound to every contact
  • +Fender analytics against rated energy curves
  • +Replayable, time-locked audit for every operation

Four Anchor Benefits

Why NaviTrak / 04

Why NaviTrak.

01Precision

True hull-shape geometry.

3D LiDAR plus laser distance — not two single points. Compression rate, approach angle, settle distance, all computed in real time.

02Awareness

Live AIS for every vessel.

One map fuses AIS, CCTV, weather and zone state. Faster decisions; no flipping between monitors.

03Audit

Every operation, replayable end-to-end.

Pilot, berth, vessel, weather, sensor and outcome bound to one immutable record. Indisputable evidence.

04Intelligence

A live operations dashboard.

Utilisation, turnaround, success rate, fender impact, repeat customers — out of the box. No BI project.

Seven Capability Pillars

Platform / 05

Each pillar runs alone in adjacent systems. Only NaviTrak runs them as one record.

PILLAR 01

Precision 3D berthing.

3D LiDAR units mounted with laser distance sensors. Each laser configured per berth with a calibration snapshot captured the moment an operation begins — forensically reproducible months or years later.

Why it matters. A bad berthing is rarely caught by a single distance. It is the angle, the rate of compression, and the off-axis drift. NaviTrak measures all of them and writes them to an immutable record.

PILLAR 02

Live port traffic awareness.

NaviTrak's home page is a live operational map of the entire facility. AIS decoded by a dedicated Rust service ingesting up to thirteen physical and network sources, with tile-based fetching that stays smooth at any zoom.

Why it matters. A modern terminal monitors approach lanes, anchorages and neighbouring traffic — that is where the next problem comes from. NaviTrak shows all of it on one map.

PILLAR 03

Operation lifecycle & replay.

Berthing, drift-off and unmooring are first-class operation types — each with sensor activation, real-time monitoring, and a clean stop with success or failure flag. Two playback modes turn every operation into a training and audit asset.

Why it matters. Playback is the defensible evidence base for claim mitigation, the training tool for junior pilots, and the regulatory submission generator. All from the same record.

PILLAR 04

Fixed & PTZ camera integration.

Multi-camera RTSP intake from ONVIF-compatible IP cameras. Streams transcode on the fly — H.265 to H.264 where required — and reach the operator console over WebRTC for low-latency live view.

Why it matters. A laser tells you what is happening; a camera tells you what it looks like. Together they convert a number on a screen into evidence a non-engineer can verify in two seconds.

PILLAR 05

Weather & environmental context.

On-site weather and wave/tide stations integrated through NaviTrak's in-house weather service. GFS GRIB2 forecast layers parsed in the browser for live overlays — wind particles, cloud, rain, temperature.

Why it matters. The difference between "0.6 m/s" and "0.6 m/s with a 28-knot crosswind on an outgoing tide" is the difference that stands up in front of a P&I club.

PILLAR 06

Berth & zone management.

A map-first polygon editor — vertex drag, midpoint split, snap-to-close, live area readout, undo/redo, self-intersection prevention. Six default zone types ship out of the box, each with its own event semantics.

Why it matters. Zones turn the map from a picture into a state machine. The terminal's operational rules are encoded once, and run continuously.

PILLAR 07

Performance analytics & audit.

A five-tab dashboard built on the same database the operators write into — so the numbers shown to a manager are the numbers the duty officer is producing right now. Multi-channel alerts wired into the same engine.

Why it matters. Analytics that come for free with the operations system are analytics that actually get used. The CFO sees what the loading master sees, just sliced differently.

Sub-System Synergy

Lifecycle / 06

A single berthing, end to end.

The differentiator is not any one capability — it is what they do together during an actual operation. A representative LNG berthing on NaviTrak unfolds like this:

Each pillar exists in adjacent systems. Only NaviTrak runs them as one record.

T-30 min
Vessel crosses the approach zone. AIS fires the zone event; the alert engine pings duty officer + trade desk via WhatsApp. Vessel is matched and dimensioned automatically.
T-15 min
Pilot boards. Operation created. LiDAR + lasers activate on the lidar-service. The berth's camera cues to its alongside preset; PTZ snaps into position.
T-3 min
Vessel enters laser cones. Distances stream into the operator's measurement popup. 3D LiDAR tracks the full hull silhouette — bow angle is visible long before the laser plane.
Contact
First-contact time, speed, angle. Compression rate computed in cm/s. Fender analytics evaluate against rated energy. Wind, gust, wave and tide bound to the operation record.
T+15 min
Settle distances stable. Call worksheet records vessel-all-fast, first-line-ashore, gangway out, vapour arm connected.
Next morning
Three managers, one record. Terminal manager opens the dashboard; trade reviews the call lifecycle; HSE scrubs the playback to the contact moment. Nobody asked for an export.
