ABSTRACT

Over the years, along with the progress and development of science and technology, the number and size of large vessels are enlarging continuously, which brings a lot of pressure to the pilots. To lighten the heavy burden of the pilots and decrease the possibility of the accident during the pilotage, the berthing system of large vessels is researched and implement. The system is an electronic communication equipment based on the technology of AIS􀀍􀀁DGPS􀀍􀀁WIFI and so on. Since that, the precision of the system is high and performance is well. The implement of the berthing system gives an auxiliary to pilots to control the progress of pilotage and then improve the efficiency and safety.
