ShuttlePilot Hybrid
<8kg with Panasonic CF-19 Toughbook
A combination of ShuttlePilot and HarbourPilot technology, this is the most efficient and cost-
effective solution for approaching a fixed installation.
Because one of the positions will never change, there is no need for real-time heading or
positioning data on one of the units. Instead of an SPF unit, the co-ordinates of the fixed
installation is programmed into the software, and a portable unit used on the offtake vessel.
A ShuttlePilot Hybrid is used off New Zealand's North Island to guide the Taharoa into a fixed
pipeline near the shore, where it will take on a load of iron0-sand slurry.
