FIX PILOT UNIT SAL SPU-100
A Revolution in High Precision Navigation
SAL Navigation proudly introduces the SPU-100,
our latest innovation, built upon a solid foundation of
proven high-precision navigation technology.
Designed in compliance with the stringent requirements
laid out by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP),
this new system guarantees safe and efficient transit through
the canal. With the recent issuance of Advisory to Shipping
No. A-32-2022, the ACP has specified a new positioning
system requirement for Neopanamax vessels starting
from October 2023. The SPU-100 not only meets these
specifications but surpasses them, becoming an essential
tool for advanced pilotage across a multitude of ports.
Our core technology, embedded within the
SPU-100, is trusted and employed by pilot organizations
globally as part of their PPU systems. Its primary function is
to augment safety and efficiency during vessel navigation
in confined waters and docking operations.
Our system offers independent navigational data
in terms of positioning, speeds, heading, and Rate of
Turn. This data, derived with optimal accuracy and
reliability, offers a quality level superior to standard
bridge instrumentation.
A backup battery ensures uninterrupted operation during
power outages.
