Trelleborg donates to maritime pilots institute

Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure has donated its state-of-the-art SafePilot CAT PRO solution, SafePilot Pro Navigation software, and iPads, to Louisiana-based Maritime Pilots Institute, with the aim of enhancing training standards for aspiring maritime pilots.

The integration of these advanced tools is expected to significantly improve the educational experience, equipping trainees with cutting-edge technology for navigating real-life pilotage scenarios.

By introducing real tools used in pilotage operations, trainees gain an immersive experience through simulators and manned model-based training. These tools also enable instructors to accurately replicate real-world scenarios, allowing them to test and evaluate specific problem-solving techniques effectively. 

The SafePilot CAT PRO solution is designed for applications requiring the highest positioning accuracy, such as piloting in narrow channels and confined waters. SafePilot Pro combines professional piloting software with portable pilot units (PPUs) to deliver situational awareness of a vessel to within one centimetre accuracy.
