Main benefits
- Increases berthing safety
- Same equipment can serve many vessels, especially in
liner traffic - Fast, easy and reliable berthing operations
- Allows for the safe and precise operation of gangways
and link spans that are connected to the vessel - Reduces wear and tear of side, bow and stern ramps
- Helps berthing in icy conditions
- Reduces manpower needed in berthing operations
- Reduces potential damages to the quay
- Particularly useful for short harbor stops
- Reduced need for continuous surveillance
- Explosion-proof equipment for Oil & LNG Terminals

Summary of RBAS software functionality
- Provides a clear visual representation of approaching vessels
- Real-time calculation of vessel approach velocity, angle, and distance
- Eye-safe lasers are reliable and low maintenance devices
- Performance is unaffected by weather conditions
- Laser sensors can be installed at the terminal span or on a nearby dolphin
- Automatic drift mode alarm alerts the operator of a drifting condition
- Accurately monitor and maintain safe tension levels on mooring, breasting, and spring lines
- Interactive display, alarm settings, and data logging can be configured to user requirements
- Automatic data logging (by job) allows operators to review the docking history of a vessel or vessel type
- All operations monitored from a central PC workstation
- In addition to the mooring line tension and vessel approach package, metrology and oceanographic monitoring modules are available options
