Application
Container ships can cause enormous damage to the quay if they dock improperly. When a container ship approaches, a giant wave, the so-called "swell", shoots between the columns and floods the chamber. Radar sensors measure the distance to the ship repeatedly and thus determine its speed. The reliable radar measurement detects deviations from the berthing plan in good time. This allows the ship's crew to be informed at an early stage so that countermeasures can be taken.
