GNSS 
Maritime

Safety, efficiency, and optimization are key issues within the maritime industry that must be addressed with speed and precision. Global Navigation Satellite Systems support nearly all aspects of the maritime sector, from navigation to fishing, oceanography, and oil and gas exploration. 

​

One of the most common applications for GNSS in the maritime sector is navigation, primarily supporting Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) and Vessel Tracking Systems (VTS) - both of which are used for collision avoidance and traffic control.

​

Several other GNSS applications exist for maritime purposes as well, including:

​

• Sea Level Observations

• Dredging Operations

• Locating Wrecks

• Pipeline Construction

• Search and Rescue 

• Dynamic Positioning

• Oil Rig Positioning

• Satellite Launch Platform Maintenance
