iBerth offers real-time assistance during docking by providing live measurements of angles, distances, and speeds for vessels approaching the dock.
Optimized docking with berthing assistance includes:
The system also facilitates cost savings in mooring and fender dimensioning by detecting, monitoring, and raising alarms for ship roll while the ship is moored.
iBerth offers essential data for harbor masters, captains, and pilots to ensure safe and efficient navigation of vessels in and out of commercial ports. This information is displayed on multiple devices, including a large display wall visible from the bridge in the harbor. Furthermore, the data is accessible on the port operator’s intranet or through dedicated displays. Additionally, the data is automatically transmitted to the radio or the pilot’s tablets for seamless access and utilization.

German inventor Christian Hülsmeyer invented the first maritime radar – cf.
Utilizing 1D or 2D radar sensors, the system ensures precise measurement of the approaching vessel’s position regardless of weather conditions.
While docked, the system continuously monitors the vessel’s position in terms of yaw, pitch and roll, delivering essential information to all involved parties and enhancing overall safety.

The advanced 1D radar sensor provides precise measurements of water level changes, including wave amplitudes.
This solution surpasses the accuracy of official information and additionally offers data on water level changes during the ship’s docking process.

indurad iBerth systems can be installed on vessels, enhancing the speed and safety of docking operations.
This capability has been successfully demonstrated for both fixed quays and floating trans shipment terminals.

A customized iBerth solution is used on a vessel in Australia to detect the vessel position during the loading process to make sure, that it is loaded to the spec. The solution provides the crew the information required to continuously monitor the loading process and ship movement to make sure that it does not skew or bend, avoiding to get into structural damage.
A vessel in travels usually short distances and docks once or twice per day was equipped with a iBerth system to have all the information that iBerth provides, independent of the harbor infrastructure.
This information helps the crew to navigate and dock the vessel faster and safer – especially in difficult weather situations where visibility is limited or at night times or in narrow ports or berth with s a strong steam.
In Australia, at a place where the highest tidal changes can be found, the solution supports operations in two ways:
It provides a drift detection of the vessels on the berth. This provides a massive improvement in safety for daily operations. The picture left shows a measured ship drift of 89 cm, causing an alarm.
Besides this, the solution provides data about the position of the incoming vessel – which supports docking activities.
A port in Brazil uses the iBerth solution to be integrated with their harbour management system. Indurad provides data:
In combination with further datapoints such as:
the system provides a full set of information to the operators, increasing efficiency and safety in daily operations as well as in special conditions where operations are more difficult to perform (e.g. high tide, low tide, strong rain and thunderstorms etc.)
