How mooring guidance works: The technology and the detail behind each route

In the age of artificial intelligence, many digital solutions are transforming traditional sectors, and the nautical world is no exception. However, there are processes that, although they may seem automatic, require meticulous human work to ensure accuracy and quality. A great example of this is the guided to mooringThe new, key functionality combines advanced technology with a touch of craftsmanship.

Although with one click you can visualize the route to your berth within the port, behind that simple gesture is a detailed process that ensures you arrive safely and efficiently. How do we do it?

Step 1: Creation of the base routes

It all starts with the generation of a set of possible routes within the port. Each is designed with multiple factors in mind:

- The actual layout of the port, including channels and navigation restrictions.

- The position of the moorings and access to them.

- Obstacles or restricted areas that could interfere with navigation.

This first step requires a thorough analysis of the port data to ensure that the routes are functional and adapted to the specific characteristics of each facility.

Step 2: Smoothing and optimization

Once the base routes are created, we apply a smoothing algorithm that transforms rigid lines into much more realistic and aesthetic layouts. This step not only improves the visual experience for the navigator, but also ensures that the routes are clear and easy to follow, eliminating any possibility of confusion.

Constant review: The human touch

The work does not end with the creation of the routes. Our team of draftsmen constantly revises the guides to adapt them to any changes in the port: expansions, access modifications, or even temporary conditions. This process ensures that you always have up-to-date and reliable information.

A unique challenge: Marina Menorca

Did you know that one of the most challenging ports to create guidance routes has been Marina Menorca?

Its large size and wide navigational spaces made this project especially complex. Designing routes that balanced accuracy and simplicity was a Herculean task, but the result is a clear and efficient guidance system!

Innovation at the service of the navigator

Mooring guidance is not just a practical feature, it is a demonstration of how technology can enhance the boating experience by combining advanced algorithms with the human touch. Our goal is for every boater to enjoy a smooth and seamless process from the moment they arrive in port until they tie up.
