MOL Enhances Function of AR Navigation System to support Vessel Navigation -Enhancement Helps Navigators Avoid Dangerous Shallow Areas
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. announced an upgrade to the AR navigation system , jointly developed with Furuno Electric Co., Ltd. (President: Yukio Furuno; Headquarters: Nishinomiya-shi, Hyogo Prefecture), that enables the system to automatically display borders between deep-sea areas where vessels can navigate safely and shallower areas that may pose risks.
The previous system required manual setting to display shallow areas, but this upgrade allows for automatic full-time display of the Safety Contour in red, yellow, or orange (users can set the arbitrary color that they can easily scent the risk), supporting the navigators’ situation awareness visually.
