Product Overview:
GLEN Portable Docking Aid System (PDAS) is a mobile vessel approach monitoring solution providing real-time distance, speed, and angle data during berthing and unberthing.
Unlike fixed BAS installations, PDAS requires no permanent mounting, making it ideal for temporary berths, shared jetties, trial operations, and ports without fixed docking aid infrastructure.
The system enhances docking safety by delivering accurate approach information to jetty operators via tablet or laptop, helping control berthing speed and reduce risks to fenders and quay structures.

• Portable, installation-free design with rapid deployment
• Real-time monitoring of distance, speed, and approach angle
• Laser-based measurement for reliable data accuracy
• Speed warning function to protect berth structures
• Tablet or laptop interface with automatic data recording
• Lower cost alternative to fixed BAS while maintaining essential safety functions
Application Scenarios:
• Ports without fixed docking aid systems
