GLEN Berthing Aid System (BAS) is a laser-based vessel approach and berthing guidance solution that provides real-time visual and operational information during approach, berthing, and drift-off operations.
The system enhances situational awareness for pilots, bridge teams, and terminal operators, helping control approach speed, reduce berthing risks, and protect fenders and jetty structures.
Designed for ports, LNG and oil & gas terminals, and offshore berths, BAS integrates precision laser sensing, large LED visualization, intelligent alarms, and data recording to support safe and efficient berthing under varying traffic and weather conditions.
