Navigation Assistance
Octopus navigation software provides routing calculation according to your preferences - whether you are looking for the fastest route, the most comfortable or the most economical in terms of fuel consumption. The routing analysis module allows you to choose the optimum route with the best compromise between speed, security, comfort, fuel consumption and time of arrival.
Mooring
The mooring assistance module provides a graphical display of the conditions to be expected on the chosen mooring area: weather forecast, sea level according to the tide, and so on.
Weather forecast
GRIB files can be downloaded online and by email up to 16 days.
They can be displayed on screen - wind, waves, atmospheric pressure, etc. - and are used for routing calculation.
Safety
For more serenity all along the navigations, Octopus provides multiple functions linked to safety such as MOB, AIS and alarms: anchor drag alarm, coast detection, MOB, AIS and customized alarms (depth, wind force and direction, etc.).
