NCOS ONLINE

Unlock port capacity, reduce delays and optimise expenditures

 

Traditional port traffic management systems lack accurate vessel motion and force calculations, limiting the ability of port stakeholders to make informed operational and strategic decisions. This leads to challenges in risk assessment, traffic flow optimisation, safe berthing procedures and resource allocation.

 

NCOS ONLINE, DHI's physics-based port traffic management system, empowers port and maritime safety authorities with a high-precision virtual environment to optimise vessel traffic safety and efficiency, expand the capacity of existing assets and reduce delays. Developed with FORCE TECHNOLOGY, it relies on high-performance, cloud-based computing to resolve vessel motions and forces, uniquely accounting for water depth and forward speed. Plus, NCOS ONLINE uses the same engine as high-end navigation simulators to fully integrate your vessel particulars such as hull form, draft, aerial and sub-aerial hull areas as well as tug resources and modelled currents and winds. You can even account for the motion of moored vessels and non-linear mooring line and fender forces! Transform your port operations with this game-changing system, known worldwide for delivering the most accurate response calculations for today's larger and wider vessels.
