ADVANCED NAVIGATION CAMERA SOLUTION FOR
THE MARITIME INDUSTRY
IMPROVES SAFETY AND NAVIGATION
CST’s Raven is a maritime surveillance camera system delivering substantial benefits for container shipping, trawlers, and arctic shipping.
The system enhances safety at critical port entrances by assisting captains and bridge crews with docking. The superior visual data provided by CST cameras significantly reduces human errors, allowing for better decision-making.
The CST navigation shipping system can lower crew costs by minimizing the need for extensive surveillance and detect hazards such as icebergs, growlers, and man overboard in Arctic waters.
Navigation shipping – Enhanced visibility in poor weather conditions
CST offers advanced maritime camera solution specifically designed for the maritime industry, aimed at significantly improving navigation and safety.
Our dual maritime camera system combines thermal, visual, and SWIR (ShortWave Infrared) modes, ensuring the best image quality with optimal focus and razor-sharp clarity.
These cameras provide clear images even in poor weather conditions like fog, haze, heavy rain, and snow, ensuring continuous and reliable visual data when radar performance is compromised.
Enhanced night vision with infrared detection ensures round-the-clock safety.
Integrating navigation camera systems with radar reduces human error by providing more comprehensive situational awareness
Cameras with SWIR capabilities provide clear images in poor weather conditions such as fog, haze, and heavy rain. These capabilities are crucial for maritime navigation, as they ensure continuous and reliable visual data when radar performance is compromised.
Studies have shown that visual data from cameras significantly enhances the effectiveness of maritime surveillance and navigation systems by providing additional layers of information that radar alone cannot offer. It helps the captain and bridge crews to make the right decisions when navigating and docking.
Our dual navigation shipping camera system combines two out of three modes: thermal, visual, and SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) in black and white. This combination ensures the best image quality with optimal focus and razor-sharp clarity.
Navigation shipping camera for arctic conditions
This often poses significant challenges for ships. Especially when it comes to detecting icebergs and growlers and ensuring early alarm activation.
Growlers are smaller transparent ice floes. They stand out less than a meter above sea level, weigh tons and are often over 20 square meters. Growlers pose a significant risk, and their detection is currently handled primarily through two methods.
Even advanced radars can only detect these ice formations to a certain extent. This means they often don’t echo back, increasing the risk of collision.
Navigation shipping mitigating Flicker and Heat Haze
Heat haze and flicker, caused by temperature differences between the water and air, can distort visual perception and make navigation challenging. Thermal cameras are particularly effective in mitigating these effects, ensuring clear visibility and accurate navigation. This feature is especially beneficial in conditions where traditional visual systems struggle, thus improving overall navigation accuracy and safety.
Key maritime navigation cameras
Dual camera solution combines 2 of 3 modes: thermal, visual and SWIR in black & white
With advanced technology, CST has designed a durable and reliable surveillance camera that comes as a complete kit for easy installation and integration to a wide range of vessels. Our cameras operate efficiently within a temperature range of – 40°C to +70°C.
