DANELEC AND DANPILOT TO UNVEIL GROUNDBREAKING REMOTE PILOTING TECHNOLOGY AT EUROPEAN MARITIME DAY 2024

Danelec and leading Danish piloting company Dan Pilot are revealing the result of a key strategic partnership at the European Maritime Day conference in Svendborg, Denmark, taking place today and tomorrow. Together, they have developed an innovative solution with the potential to revolutionize maritime piloting.

This new technology integrates operational and navigation solutions, allowing for safe piloting without requiring a pilot to board the ship.

Remote Piloting - A Revolution in Maritime Navigation

Danelec has been collecting vessel and navigation data on commercial vessels for 30 years. Today, vessel data can be sent to the cloud and displayed in near real-time ashore. By giving DanPilot access to it, a pilot can essentially see the same as they would if they were aboard the ship. This saves the time and cost of a pilot joining a vessel, while reducing the risk of accidents during transfer.

"Piloting is both time and resource-intensive, and it is extremely dangerous for the pilot boarding the vessel. Therefore, we are very happy to be in the market with a remote solution that enables DanPilot to guide global ship traffic through Danish waters without going onboard," says Christian Kock, EVP, Safety at Danelec.
