Are you utilising virtual aids to navigation (AtoN) for your maritime operations? From highlighting individual dangers such as wrecks and shoals to indicating current flow, virtual AtoN has been developed to mark hazards where costly physical infrastructure is inappropriate or impossible to deploy.  Let us dive into the three core benefits of implementing virtual aids to navigation tools in your next maritime project… 1️⃣ Suitable for harsh environments. This equipment can be extremely useful in remote areas where physical buoys are seasonally lifted or misplaced due to swell, ice or natural disasters. 2️⃣ Low-maintenance and cost-effective. Virtual aids to navigation require no physical maintenance and can provide accurate information about the equipment’s system health from afar. 3️⃣ Real-time data for potential hazards. In the event of a vessel collision or abrupt hazard, virtual aids to navigation can detect incidents in real time and report proactive alerts to mariners. Learn more about the advantages of virtual AtoN — and how you can move forward with these advanced technologies in your maritime projects via our latest blog post! #VirtualAtoN #AidsToNavigation #MaritimeProject https://bit.ly/4bjMWxn

As we continue to make waves in the Maritime Sector 🌊, we have yet another partnership success story to share. This time with EGS Survey Pty Ltd (EGS Australia) - Leaders in Hydrographic & Geophysical Surveying. During our recent APAC road trip, we had the opportunity to explore the utilisation and advantages of our ultra-low bandwidth video streaming. Our partners at #EGS are already recognising its value as a vital element in their remote survey operations. One of their recent subsea cable survey projects provided exceptional benefits in visibility, decision-making, collaboration, and cost efficiency. As technology progresses, real-time video streaming is set to become an essential tool for the company. Explore the many advantages of employing real-time video streaming and remote access in subsea cable survey operations. ⭐ Data and Documentation: Videosoft technology enables the recording and documentation of live video feeds and high-quality local recording of the entire survey process. This documentation proves invaluable for post-analysis, quality assurance, and compliance reporting purposes. ⭐ Enhanced Visibility and Decision-Making: Instant visual insights empower stakeholders to make informed decisions on the spot using a live feed showcasing cable installation, obstacles, and underwater infrastructure conditions, enhancing overall visibility. ⭐ Cost Efficiency and Resource Optimisation: Integrating real-time video streaming cuts costs by reducing on-site staff, while remote access enables professionals to oversee operations from a distance. EGS Survey Pty Ltd (EGS Australia) are using video streaming to enhance remote operations across the board. Their upcoming Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) is set for sea trials in the approaching months. They intend to leverage Videosoft Global's adaptive video compression and transmission technology, a crucial part of their operational strategy. The project will debut at the AOG Energy exhibition held at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre this week. Discover more details about the survey work by visiting #EGS at STAND #A22. Looking forward to seeing the ESG team this week -  Charles Collins, Harrison Wilson, and Sylvain E.

🚢 Enabling Seamless Connectivity at Sea: Ship Communication Equipment in Action 🌊 In the modern maritime industry, reliable communication is crucial for operational efficiency, crew welfare, and safety at sea. Ship communication equipment, like VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal), plays a central role in maintaining a robust connection—even in the middle of the ocean. 📡 How VSAT Works on Ships VSAT uses satellite communication to establish an internet connection at sea. The antenna on the vessel sends and receives data via a satellite orbiting Earth, which is connected to a ground station. This process enables continuous connectivity for voice, data, and even video streaming, ensuring that the crew remains connected with onshore operations and families. 💡 Why VSAT Matters in Maritime Communication • Uninterrupted Connectivity: Provides reliable internet access even in remote ocean areas, where cellular networks are unavailable. • Enhanced Safety: Facilitates real-time data transfer, enabling predictive maintenance, weather updates, and emergency alerts. • Crew Welfare: Allows crew members to stay in touch with their families, access entertainment, and reduce isolation during long voyages. • Operational Efficiency: Supports critical applications like ECDIS, GPS, and fleet management systems, optimizing route planning and fuel efficiency. As we advance, robust maritime communication like VSAT will continue to drive the future of digital shipping, empowering vessels to navigate smarter, safer, and more connected than ever. #MaritimeIndustry #VSAT #ShipCommunication #SatelliteTechnology #NMDC #MaritimeConnectivity #InnovationAtSea

[COMST Survey] Design Guidelines on Trust Management for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks The significant advancements in wireless underwater communication and acoustic sensor technology have facilitated the exploration and utilization of the ocean's vast natural resources. underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are increasingly deployed in unattended and hostile environments, demanding robust security measures. Secure communication environments are essential for a range of UWSN applications, including coastal defense, underwater communication, and marine exploration. Trust models have emerged as effective security mechanisms to assess the reliability of individual nodes in UWSNs during adverse attacks. Unlike Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), UWSNs encounter distinct challenges, including constrained resources, harsh underwater conditions, and unreliable acoustic communication, making it crucial to establish a reliable trust-based system. In this context, the paper titled “Design Guidelines on Trust Management for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks” by Rongxin Zhu, Azzedine Boukerche, Libo Long, and Qiuling Yang provides a holistic review of on UWSN security, discuss security and trust challenges, and explore trust-based applications. The paper evaluates diverse trust models suited for UWSNs of recent years, categorizing and comparing approaches like weighted sum methods, logic-based techniques, probability and statistics models, and machine learning paradigms. Following that, contemporary challenges and future directions in UWSN trust management are discussed. By offering a systematic overview and classification of trust management approaches, the paper contributes to the understanding and development of effective trust mechanisms for UWSNs, ultimately enhancing their reliability, security, and successful operation in diverse marine applications.

and Setup: Choose a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the night sky. Set up your camera on a tripod to ensure stability and avoid blurriness.Camera Settings: Use a camera capable of long-exposure shots. Set it to capture images at regular intervals (e.g., every 10-20 seconds) to track the movement of the satellites.Tracking Starlink Satellites: Use tools like satellite tracking apps or websites to determine when and where the Starlink satellites will be visible in your area.Image Capture: Take photos over several hours to capture the full passage of the satellites. Ensure you have enough storage and battery life for the duration of the observation.Editing and Compilation: Use video editing software to compile the images into a timelapse video. Adjust the frame rate to smooth out the satellite trails and enhance the visual effect.
