Of the multiple pieces of news that have come out from, a clearly very productive ABB at Seawork this year, one of the most potentially game-changing to commercial marine vessel operations is this recent enhancement. Designed to optimize vessel responsiveness, efficiency and safety across the entire operating profile, ABB Ability Marine Pilot Control allows deployment of joystick control for manoeuvring at all times, including around the berth. Marine Pilot Control's manoeuvring capability is built around predicting where the vessel will be in 5-30 seconds instead of measuring its position on arrival. Software calculates the optimum way of executing decisions across the operational profile, depending on how the operator has prioritized speed, manoeuvrability or other parameters.
