Key features

SAL SPU-100 is specifically engineered to meet and surpass the stringent positioning requirements set by the Panama Canal Authority, introduced with Advisory to Shipping No. A-32-2022 for Neopanamax vessels starting in 2023. Ensuring safe and efficient navigation in the most demanding environments.

Rigorously tested under real-world GPS/GNSS jamming and spoofing conditions at Andøya, Norway, SAL SPU-100 consistently outperforms traditional SOLAS-class systems, delivering reliable and uninterrupted data. These large-scale trials, vetted by independent researchers from the Norwegian Coastal Authorities, underscore the system’s superior resilience and its ability to maintain performance under the most challenging conditions.

Whether in the Panama Canal or confined waters across the globe, SPU-100 delivers superior navigational support, ensuring safe passage through complex waterways.

SPU-100 delivers highly precise, independent data on positioning, speeds, heading, and Rate of Turn, offering a level of quality superior to standard bridge instrumentation. Trusted by pilot organisations globally as part of their PPU systems, it enhances safety and efficiency in confined waters and docking operations

Equipped with a backup battery, SPU-100 ensures continuous performance, even during power outages, maintaining navigational accuracy and safety.

Engineered to facilitate direct interaction with the SAL Navigation SPU-100 device via Wi-Fi. Core functionalities include installation verification, sensor diagnostics, and real-time data feedback for accurate setup, connectivity, and monitoring.
