SeaPro Pilot - Electronic Chart System

---

The Ultimate Carry-On-Board Pilot Navigation Tool!

SeaPro Pilot provides a powerful yet easy to use 'carry on-board' solution for ship Pilots, who want their own independent navigation and information system, removing the reliance on the ships own ECDIS/Navigation system. The pilot system interfaces to the ships data using the pilot plug on the ships AIS transponder, giving instant access to ships Position, Heading, COG/SOG/Rate of Turn and AIS targets. SeaPro Pilot supports S57 cells (both encoded and non encoded) as well as other formats such as ARCS (skipper and Navigator services), BSB/BSB4 etc.

The Pilot system can be supplied as a software only solution or complete with ruggedized laptop and wireless Pilot plug connector (including a built in backup GPS ). The packaged solution is light and easy to carry on-board and can be set up within minutes. In addition to reducing the learning curve when boarding a vessel, the Pilot can be confident that the latest S57 charts and port data is available on their own system self contained system. SeaPro Pilot has built-in docking tools, allowing the Pilot to set up distance lines and display a predicted position.

Improved Safety	Real-time Navigation 'At-a-glance' Situational Awareness Overlay of ARPA radar targets on charts Automatic 'Look Ahead' View for maximum clarity Weather Overlays Chart Corrections via DVD or Internet update Data Recording of voyage for incident investigation Full AIS compatibility
Increased Operational Efficiency	Practical Route Planning tools enable passage plans to be quickly calculated or checked. Chart can be electronically updated. Additional Charts can be 'unlocked' from an on-board CD. Routes and Waypoints can be transferred to GPS or Radar to enable them to use the same data. Can communicate passage plans, logs, weather data and chart updates via email.
RealTime Navigation	SeaPro Professional automatically provides the navigator with real-time position of the vessel and other important information for situation awareness, including; ARPA Target position and vector information, Repeated Data from others sensors including Log and Gyro, Projected Position from Heading or Course-Over-Ground, Vessel Track, Scaled Vessel Outline, Rate of Turn Display.
Look Ahead View	SeaPro provides both Relative Motion and True Motion modes. Relative or 'Look Ahead' mode enables the vessel to remain at a fixed position giving the navigator a clear view ahead of the vessel. In this mode the chart is automatically scrolled in the background allowing true 'hands-free' operation. In addition the chart orientation can be set to the following modes; North Up, Heading Up, Route Up.
Route Planning	SeaPro Professional contains advanced route planning facilities that enable tidal and magnetic variation to be automatically calculated in passage plans. Schedule information including ETA and time-to-go are provided in addition to a print formatted passage plan. Route and Waypoint information can also be sent to an Autopilot, GPS and ARPA Radar.
Integrated Weather Information	Weather Data from various official Meteorological Offices can be delivered via email and animated within SeaPro to show up to 5 day weather forecasts. Information that can be displayed includes pressure, wind speed, wind direction and wave heights.
Chart Formats	SeaPro is a 'multi-fuel' platform that supports both Raster and Vector Chart Formats to provide the best choice of charts worldwide. Formats include; Vector Chart Formats: S-57 ENC - Official UKHO and Primar Charts Livecharts - Euronav's vector charts. Raster Chart Formats: ARCS - British Admiralty charts offering worldwide coverage. Seafarer - Australian Hydrographic Office charts covering Australasian waters. NZ Mariner - New Zealand Charting Authority charts covering New Zealand waters. BSB - National Oceanographic & Aeronautical Administration charts covering US waters
Chart Corrections	Chart update services as frequently as once per week are available depending on chart format and type.
Other Features	Pilot Interface - The pilot interface allows easy and fast setup of the system, such as getting vessel data from the AIS transponder. Docking Tools - Distance Lines and Position Prediction. GPS Secondary Fix - A second GPS can be used to check GPS accuracy.
Options	SeaPro can optionally network to other computers for multiple navigation stations and can also be used as an information repeater for example in the masters or officers cabins or for the Euronav PI3000 Passenger Information System. Navtex interface to connect a low-cost optional Navtex Antenna. Ruggedized laptop. Wireless Pilot-Plug Connector with built-in backup GPS.

Miscellaneous	Internet conection for downloads/updates (can use USB drive instead) DVD drive is not normaly required unless taking ARCS/S57chart data on CD/DVD

Note 1: Windows XP - This operating system is no longer supported by Microsoft, so continued operation can't be guaranteed. Whichever operating system is being used, its presumed that the latest service packs have been applied plus any other appropriate updates/patches (for XP this means SP3 and for Vista SP2).
Note 2: Whichever operating system is being used, its presumed that the latest service packs have been applied plus any other appropriate updates/patches (for XP this means SP3 and for Vista SP2). The minimum level depends on your operating system requirements. For example XP will work with 512 MBytes, Vista should have at least 1GByte. If your computer is suitable for the specified operating system then it should be fine with seaPro - More memory is better.
Most modern computer\laptops will meet the specifications for all of the above.
Note3: Most laptops don't have a serial port,so add a USB/serial converter if GPS input required. Alternatively use TCP/IP input (via converter). Some equipment such as USB AIS unit have a driver that installs a virtual serial port.
Note 4: At 1024x 600 resolution (as used on Netbooks) the important dialog will operate correctly, some advanced features may require slight scrolling.
Note 5:seaPro will work with both 32 and 64 bit Windows operating systems. A dual 32/64 bit dongle driver is supplied.

The above are recommended minimums especially with S57 and 3D, higher specifications will mean your PC will also work better with other/more applications and extend its useful life.
