SmartLander Vessel Positive Restraint Technology is currently under development. It is a green solution that is simple, safe and reliable – The operator steers the Ferry towards the target on the dock, throttles down, connects and unloads cargo. Currently many ferry systems waste millions of dollars in fuel during this "dwell time" because with current technology the ferry must actively push against the dock to maintain positive connection. At the same time, valuable fuel is being burned and harmful emissions are let into the atmosphere.

Prototype Testing

Prototype Nautical Landing Units have been fabricated and tested. Prototypes were designed using 3-D Solid Modeling CAD software and were precision machined out of 6061 T-6 Aluminum Alloy. 2 Configurations have been built and tested. The S130 is the Basic Unit that is non-collapsible and mounts to an adapter arm. The unit's Catch Eye is positioned off of the side of the boat and uses the boat's momentum to allow the Target Pole to engage the Automatic Latch. The S160 consists of the Basic Unit plus a heavy duty Pivot Arm. The S160 is intended for larger yachts, and features a retractable 90 degree pivot arm and a built in gas shock absorbers.
