Chu Lai Port puts into use the system to monitor ships arriving at port and meteorology

Recently, Chu Lai Port has completed the installation and put into use a ship arrival and meteorological monitoring system. This is a condition for the port to receive and operate large-capacity ships; at the same time, manage and monitor the entire ship arrival process, ensuring safe and fast operation.

The system operates with two main modules: the BAS (Berthing Aid System) ship arrival speed measurement system and the meteorological monitoring equipment. Accordingly, data on ship arrival speed, distance between ship and berth (by laser sensor); important weather and hydrological parameters such as wind direction, temperature, humidity, water level, waves, etc. are provided continuously and visually. The deployment of ship arrival monitoring takes place regularly, while meteorological monitoring is also carried out 2 times/day.

The operation of the monitoring system helps the port increase efficiency and accuracy in the process of navigating large-tonnage ships and boats in and out; thereby, ensuring the safety of the port's wharf structure, improving the capacity to receive and exploit goods as the frequency of international ships arriving at the port increases.

In the coming time, Chu Lai port will continue to promote digital transformation, deploy ePort electronic port software, customs clearance, electronic payment... and apply PL - COS software (General cargo port operation) to create convenience for customers in the transaction process, update the status of actual ship and cargo data, save time, costs... towards the goal of forming a seaport technology ecosystem.
