SAL SPU-100
A Revolution in High Precision Navigation!
SAL Navigation proudly introduces the SPU-100, our latest innovation, built upon a solid foundation of proven high-precision navigation technology.
Designed in compliance with the stringent requirements laid out by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), this new system guarantees safe and efficient transit through the canal.
With the recent issuance of Advisory to Shipping No. A-32-2022, the ACP has specified a new positioning system requirement for Neopanamax vessels starting from October 2023.
The SPU-100 not only meets these specifications but surpasses them, becoming an essential tool for advanced pilotage across a multitude of ports.
Our core technology, embedded within the SPU-100, is trusted and employed by pilot organizations globally as part of their PPU systems.
Its primary function is to augment safety and efficiency during vessel navigation in confined waters and docking operations.
Our system offers independent navigational data in terms of positioning, speeds, heading, and Rate of Turn.
This data, derived with optimal accuracy and reliability, offers a quality level superior to standard bridge instrumentation.
A backup battery ensures uninterrupted operation during power outages.
Key Advantages:
- Augments safety and efficiency during maneuvers in confined waters.
- Offers pilots and ship crew the most accurate navigational data.
- Tested and certified for performance under real signal jamming and spoofing conditions.
Compliance with Panama Canal’s New Safety Regulations

The SPU-100 not only meets these specifications but surpasses them, becoming an essential tool for advanced pilotage across a multitude of ports.
Capabilities:
The SPU-100 boasts state-of-the-art GNSS
positioning and inertial components, robustly
tested under real GNSS jamming and spoofing
signal scenarios, ensuring dependable
performance under challenging conditions.
Our system offers independent navigational
data in terms of positioning, speeds, heading,
and Rate of Turn. This data, derived with optimal
accuracy and reliability, offers a quality
level superior to standard bridge instrumentation.
Data dissemination happens via WLAN and
can optionally be accessed through the ship’s
wired network. A backup battery ensures uninterrupted
operation during power outages.
