ABSTRACT:
A docking information system for assistance in the docking of vessels uses sensors providing information indicative of the relationship between a ship and a reference, such as a dock, a coast line, a river bank, docks, bends and docking areas. A computer coordinates the information. A wireless transmitter associated with the computer transmits signals indicative of the information. A portable receiver and indicator carried by the captain of the vessel has a receiver for receiving the transmitted signals and an indicator screen to display the information. The remote receivers also include fixed monitors on the ship and on shore, and telephones on the ship which communicate with the computer and into the telephone link with shore-based communications.
