The new era in pilotage.

Guiding maritime pilotage into the Remote Pilotage era.

Remote Pilotage Operations

The goal of RemPi is to enable the pilots to perform vessel conning remotely, from a specialized control room or by the use of a VR headset.
The system will nullify the pilot transfer times enabling swap from ship to ship with a single click.

Taking Pilotage Operations to the next level

We are developing a system that will stream video and navigational data from the ship to the pilot.

Equipment will be delivered to the ship via a specialized drone.

Our goal is to develop equipment that will take only 15 minutes to place and establish a connection.
The cameras will cover all the vital angles for the pilot meeting IMO visibility criteria and will be amplified with AI measurements, object recognition, and night/fog vision.

Each camera module will be equipped with RTK GPS.

In triangulation, modules will provide independent centimeter-level positioning, heading, SOG, and additional viable data.
RTK-GPS is already used in some of the world’s ports where very high accuracy and very low pier approach speeds are required.

A Green Solution to Pilotage Operations

Electrical Drones instead of pilot boats.

Pilot boats are running on diesel oil. Emissions of a typical pilot boat will equal 4 huge bulldozers working 24/7. In contrast, drones are electrical and move from one system to another estimated to cut CO2 emissions by 95%.

Less steaming time on port approach.

In most ports, it is common practice for the inbound vessel to stay drifting near pilot boarding grounds awaiting pilot boarding. Remote pilotage will significantly reduce that time and even nullify it in perfect conditions.

Less docking time = less vessel steaming time.

RemPi will provide the pilot with a powerful tool: a real-time position prediction which is expected to reduce vessel maneuvering times by at least 10% while docking, which in turn will reduce engine running times both for the vessel and for tugs thus assisting it in docking.
