Precision Wind Speed and Direction Data Capture for Dynamic Positioning Systems

On-board wind sensors provide data directly to the ship dynamic position system, which automatically controls ship thrusters to counteract the affect of the wind to keep the ship on station when manouvering alongside oil platforms.

Low Maintenance, High Confidence

All Gill wind sensors are solid-state requiring no regular maintenance. On the WindObserver wind sensor an automatic quality message is provided, giving confidence that data received is valid and can be trusted.

Increased System Safety

High quality wind speed and direction data is essential to ensure acurate control of a vessel, especially during high wind storm conditions. Gill products are proven in DPS applications and supported by formal offshore evaluation by our customers.
