    摘要: A hull cleaning system is disclosed that comprises a below-waterline hull cleaning head arranged to clean an underwater portion of a hull in-situ, a location determining system arranged to produce location information indicative of the location of the hull cleaning head relative to the hull, and



    a hub facility remotely located relative to the hull cleaning head. The hub facility is arranged to store the location information, and the system is arranged to send the location information to the hub facility for storage at the hub facility so as to thereby provide a record at the hub facility of clean portions of the hull that have been cleaned by the hull cleaning head and fouled portions of the hull that have not yet been cleaned by the hull cleaning head. The system is also arranged to provide on-line access to the location information stored at the hub facility so as to thereby enable cleaning to continue at a subsequent time using the stored location information.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a marine vessel location awareness device and method of using the device. The marine vessel location awareness device can include electronic components such as a sensor system, a global positioning system (GPS), a tidal gauge device, an alert system, and a microcontroller. The draft sensor can be configured to measure draft data of the marine vessel. The GPS can be configured to measure the position of the marine vessel. The tidal gauge device can be configured to measure a water level of a water body the marine vessel is traveling relative to a vertical datum. The alert system can be configured to alert the marine vessel to enter an active state when the water condition transmitted to the alert system is the unsafe water condition, when the alert system is in the active state, an alert is activated.

    摘要: A watercraft safety lighting system includes one or more light sensors for measuring ambient light levels, which are operatively connected to an electronic controller, such as a programmable logic controller or any suitable programmable computing device. The navigation lights are operatively connected to the electronic controller, as well as docking lights, interior lights, and instrument panel lighting, such as the lighting for gauges, instrument panels, video screens, GPS monitors, and the like. When ambient light levels reach a predetermined level of low light (as darkness is setting in, for example), the electronic controller is programmed to switch on the navigation lights, and to adjust other lighting to appropriate levels for night-time operations. The system may also shut off docking lights at a predetermined speed after dark, and may include alarms to warn the boat captain of improper lighting settings in low-light conditions.
