SAL Navigation proudly introduces the SPU-100, the latest product built upon a solid foundation of proven high-precision navigation technology. Designed in compliance with the stringent requirements laid out by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), this new system guarantees safe and efficient transit through the canal. With the recent issuance of Advisory to Shipping No. A-32-2022, the ACP has specified a new positioning system requirement for Neopanamax vessels starting from October 2023. The SPU-100 not only meets these specifications but surpasses them, becoming an essential tool for advanced pilotage across a multitude of ports.

Its primary function is to augment safety and efficiency during vessel navigation in confined waters and docking operations. This system offers independent navigational data in terms of positioning, speeds, heading, and Rate of Turn. This data, derived with optimal accuracy and reliability, offers a quality level superior to standard bridge instrumentation.

Key Features: 

• Augments safety and efficiency during maneuvers in confined waters.
