DS-60

The DS-60 is a precision, 3-axis Doppler Sonar 
designed to output the required information for berthing 
and docking operation of vessels. It complies with IMO 
MSC.36(63), MSC.96(72), A.694(17) and A.824(19), 
designed for the vessels of 50,000 GT and greater, such 
as container vessels, VLCC and other tankers.

The DS-60 provides accurate information of ship's 
speed over a wide range. Speeds are detected relative 
to the ground or water for both fore-aft and 
port-starboard directions. The measurement capability 
at dead slow speed is vital for precise docking of huge 
tankers to oil loading/unloading facilities, as well as safe 
navigation in narrow channels or straits. Operation at 
high speed assists economical cruising in open seas.

While retaining the measurement accuracy of the DS-30, 
the DS-60 provides a greatly downsized transducer unit. 
This means that the time for installation and space 
required for installation will be reduced. The compact, 
high-frequency transducer measures ship's longitudinal 
(fore-aft) and transverse (port-starboard) speed, as well 
as water speed and direction under the hull. 

The 8.4-inch color LCD display shows information in 
both alphanumerics and graphics. It offers three display 
modes: 3-axis speed, berthing and NAV data. The 
modes can be switched with the optional remote 
controller. For wing installation, IP56 waterproof box for 
the display is available (optional supply).

real-time information of ship's motion and water speed 

for safe berthing and docking operations

Full compliance with IMO MSC.36(63), MSC.96(72), A.694(17) and A.824(19), required for the vessels of 50,000 

GT and greater

Delivers high precision measurement required for berthing and docking maneuvers 

3-beam transmission reduces the effects of vessel’s pitch and roll in order to output precision measurements

Ground-tracking speed measurement range of up to 200 m

Workload for installation has been greatly reduced thanks to its compact transducer unit

8.4-inch color LCD display gives high-legibility, real-time information in both graphics and alphanumerics

Thanks to the development of the new compact transducer, 
the size of the gate valve has been greatly downsized.
This facilitates space-saving installation, and reduces the time for installation.
