Dynamic positioning system for barges
As a complement to the previous system, SATO has its own technology to control position and direction during breakwater tipping operations using barges. In this operation, not only does the load condition vary but also the strength of the wind, current and swell. This technology is implemented and has been working since 2006 on SATO barges and it was developed by joint work between SEAPLACE and the Polytechnic University of Madrid, using joint funding from the CDTI.
