Did you ever wonder why ships do not go to large oceans? Well, it is, there are so many things to steer clear of; storms, other boats, shallow waters... But the good news is that with a good technology, these challenges could always carry lesser weight. This is where MGPS technology comes into the picture that assists ship sailing safely.
What does MGPS stands for?_PROFILE?JAVA_Q1. It works much like how GPS works on your mobile phone, to show you where things are around you in a town or city. In the same way you can use your phone to find your house, MGPS tells ships exactly where they are on the ocean, and how to get from there to where they want to go.
Old-Time Way of Sailing — Ship captains used the old ways for years in order to find their way across the ocean. Th ey charted their course using maps and compasses, which could get tricky. Their knowledge was through reading maps and stars, they had to know where they were headed in such a way. However, thanks to MGPS that has changed significantly.
MGPS provides ships with their exact locations 24 hours a day; 7 days a week. The power of this technology is in delivering instant information allowing for the captains to navigate the safest and fastest route passage. Quickly, they will be able to look at a screen display and see their exact location, making the trip far simpler and more predictable.
One of the major advantages to MGPS is that it allows ships to more accurately navigate. This allows them to avoid places such as shallow water or rocky areas that could potentially harm the vessel. It also enables them to keep a wider berth from other ships so nobody gets hurt or nature takes its course against any sea mishaps.
Secondly, MGPS enables vessels to travel more efficiently. It also means that the ships will use less fuel (good for global warming) by being on the shortest and consequently fastest route to where they are going. This saves the owners of ships money on operating costs, which are always a significant cost for these types of businesses.
At SME, their MGPS systems are some of the finest in the industry available. Over the past decades, we have engineered the most advanced MGPS in order to provide all classes of ships ranging from small fishing boats to large bulk carriers with a host of benefits. We have the correct MGPS system for your boat no matter which boat you own.
