Wärtsilä SmartPredict improves manoeuvring safety and automation
Wärtsilä has launched a new technology, SmartPredict, that shows a vessel’s predicted future position and heading, thus reducing the risks associated with manoeuvring. The system uses dynamic positioning (DP) analysis algorithms to assess forces that may affect the vessel and its trajectory. The predicted future route of the vessel is shown on-screen, as illustrated below,…
