What is SmartDock?
SmartDock provides truly automated docking for ferries and other vessels. The system ensures consistent, safe, and predictable docking and undocking manoeuvres every time, even in challenging conditions.

How does it work?
The Captain can select the destination and with a simple click of the ‘sail’ button, the SmartDock system takes over. The ship then leaves the dock, manoeuvres out of the harbour, sails to the next port of call, manoeuvres into the harbour and docks alongside the quay, all without human intervention.

Why Choose SmartDock?

  1. Increases safety and reduces fuel consumption by providing consistent and repeatable docking.

  2. Improve the efficiency of docking, undocking, and transit.

  3. Mitigates potential human errors resulting from ship officers having to perform these technical manoeuvres many times a day.

  4. Reduces the need for intensive interaction from the vessel’s captain.
