The Solution You Need

GL SeaScout is an integrated onboard system that provides ship’s officers with decision-making support. It is suitable for any kind of vessel, and is a particularly sensible solution for containerships, MPVs, passenger ships, heavy lift vessels, bulk carriers or tankers.

GL SeaScout combines advanced computations with seaway measurements and wave/weather forecasts, and other data such as load situation. The system informs a ship’s officers of how the ship is responding to current conditions with respect to pre-defined alarm levels for movements such as slamming, rolling, pitching, or bending moment. It also provides navigating officers with a tool to determine optimal speed and course to minimize or avoid dangers and risk to vessel, cargo and crew.

• Monitoring of acceleration / ship movements along three axes: heave, sway, surge, yaw, pitch, and roll
• Monitoring of current ship’s responses according to pre-defined alarm levels
• Warnings and alarms when critical values are approached or exceeded
• Simulation mode for determining best speed and course to minimize risk
• Logging of voyage data for subsequent analysis
• User-friendly: variable display for dusk and night; touchscreen interface

GL SeaScout is available in two versions: GL SeaScout - Basic uses the seaway forecasts from the weather routing provider. The Premium version additionally measures the seaway from onboard ship by means of nautical X-band radar and can also include data from a Hull Response Monitoring System.
