Anchor functions and radio direction finder

The anchor functions include user-defined reference points, and WP plotting by range and bearing. The radio direction-finder features RDF bearing monitoring, position fix and SAR function integration.

Route approval and mission monitoring

The Navi-Sailor 3100 WECDIS route approval system includes protection from changes and deletion, and higher-rank person approval. Visual fixing functions include:

  • bearing position lines
  • range position lines
  • automatic position calculation
  • accuracy measurements
  • referencing of the fix to the current moment
  • missed lines advance
  • estimated positions include the backup positioning method; drifts and currents are taken into account.
  • The fallback chain is user-defined, with automatic positioning, source changing, primary and secondary positioning functions.
  • the pool of errors functions include:
  • ER and DP mode calculations
  • construction in user-defined place and time
  • POE reduction and skipping
  • modification-history log.

User-defined shape and dimensions, motion along the route and on schedule, own-ship referencing and monitoring are standard. Additional sensors include echo-depth and dive-depth recording, while voice remarks include single-operator action launch and E-log book replay. There is dynamic playback of archive data.

Navigation simulators and naval training

The Navi-trainer Professional 4000 (NTPRO 4000) navigational simulator enables simulator training and certification of watch officers, chief officers, captains and pilots serving on ships with gross tonnage of 500t or more. This complies with requirements of the IMO STCW 78/95 convention and model courses 7.01 and 7.03, as well as specific tasks beyond convention. The simulator complies with Class A, (B and C) NAV as per Det Norske Veritas classification. Transas navigational simulators allow training in:

  • fleet formation management
  • underway replenishment
  • lifeboat operations
  • deck helicopter operations.

Transas simulators use the Navi-sailor 3000 electronic chart system, the first to have been adapted to naval needs. Navies of different countries use Navi-sailor onboard, so trainees get used to the system they will be working with in the near future. In this way, Transas offers a complex solution.
