An upgraded version of the AnchorageView system has been commissioned at MPA’s newest control centre (POCC3). The system was completed in time to handle the several changes planned by MPA for anchorage operations from June 2012.
In addition to existing features from version 1 (which won the 2010 Minister’s Innovation Award: Distinguished category) , AnchorageView now allows greater flexibility to the user in terms of setting up the anchorage details and usage guidelines, together with other related parameters. The system can now easily be configured corresponding to any operational channel planned for the port and the transition can take place seamlessly.
Key anchorage usage related statistics are also captured by the system and displayed to the user in the form of configurable reports. This will allow MPA to easily monitor any anchorage usage patterns on a regular basis, thus also helping to flag out any unusual behavior or trends at the earliest.
With this latest version, SimPlus has done another small bit to further improve the efficiency of the port, and plan for the growth in the future.
