View Full Version : Channel Night navigation through technology


December 22nd 05, 11:52 AM
Hi All,

Well I am working in Pakistan with one of the container terminals, we
have night navigation problems at the port, since port channel is long
its always difficult for port to properly manage night navigation.

I understand these days Technology based solutions are available for
navigation which are extremely useful low visibility navigation within
channels.

I will appreciate if any of you can assist me finding such solution

Contact your nearest United States Embassy (diplomats), and if there is a
need, they will decide if you can get some technology.

It is illegal to export the types of things you want, without Department of
Defense permissions.

Floodlights are illegal?

Well, actually since light is just the same as radio waves of very (very
very) high frequency, and the rules for radio emissions don't have an
upper limit, yes, floodlights are illegal.

Some types all require export licenses.

That's true, they have become very big suppliers, let's hope
that they don't sell any bombs.

I'm surprised no one picked up on this.

The OP probably got piloting a ship mixed up with piloting
an airplane.

Kham, this group is about piloting airplanes.
