Highlights

Precise navigation
Precise navigation for piloting, docking, ship trials, oil rig positioning, inland river barges, SPM approaches, ferry operations, oil and gas tanker approaches and docking, patrol vessels and tugboat operations.

QPS Connect Server
Qastor receives port Vessel Traffic System (VTS) information, updated ENCs, chart annotations included digital pictures, and meteorological data to include real-time information about currents, wave height, wind speed and direction from the Connect Server.

Wireless support
Wired or wireless operation is supported.

Interfacing
Interfaces to most devices outputting NMEA data strings and to AIS transponders/receivers.

Real-time display
Vessel speed, heading, course over ground (COG), and rate of turn (ROT).

Chart display
All popular electronic formats, including S-57, Primar, C-MAP, ARCS, and DENC.

Under-keel clearance
Under Keel Clearance (UKC) capability uses vessel draft, required safety margin, and ENC contours to show safe water.

Path prediction
Vessel path prediction for a user-defined period of time base don speed, COG, and heading.

High-resolution support
Supports high-density ENC products to expand navigable waters.

Route planning
Set waypoints to include distance to the next waypoint, off-track distance, wheel over line, and much more.

Route verification
Route verification via UKC parameters, including highlighting of any navigational hazards that encroach safe water.

Closest point of approach
All targets within VHF range are displayed, along with all AIS targets, and a closest point of approach (CPA) for each target is generated.

Docking and Lock approach
Docking mode and Lock Approach Mode support for wall and terminal approaches.

Alerts
Visual and audible alerts to warn pilot of vessel approach speeds faster than permitted.

Mooring and Lock lines
Custom set "Mooring lines" or "Lock lines" measure distance to either key walls or lock walls to further ensure safe maneuvering.

Position QA/QC
Position, heading, and ROT filtering to eliminate GNSS position jumps.

Wireless flexibility
Data output via WiFi to PDA or smart phone to pilot on bridge wing for more flexibility when docking.

FPSO operations support
Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) mode receives information from the FPSO in order to support either tandem or side-by-side mooring.

SPM operations support
Single Point Mooring (SPM) support to ensure position of unmanned SPM during offshore loading or offloading.

Live data customization
Information via the Connect Server can easily be expanded to customized user requirements.
