More time to respond.
Flag a narrowing margin early, giving the crew more time to assess the approach and act before a clearance concern becomes urgent.
Cornu / Bridge awareness
Bridge Watch.
Know your clearance.
Before the approach.
Bridge Watch measures the opening ahead against your vessel’s air draft, helping the crew recognise clearance concerns earlier and make a more informed approach.
For inland vessels Pilot deployments
Why it matters
Protect your vessel.
Keep voyages moving.
A clearance mistake can damage equipment, interrupt a voyage and take a vessel out of service. Bridge Watch gives the crew a measured margin to support earlier, better-informed decisions.
Less avoidable disruption.
Earlier awareness can help reduce the risk of a clearance mistake and the repairs, downtime or schedule changes that could follow.
Another reference for the crew.
Add a vessel-specific measurement to charts, visual checks and experience, especially when the route or conditions are less familiar.

How it works
One clear view.
Your vessel. Your margin.
Mast-mounted sensing and onboard compute, calibrated to your vessel. The measured opening becomes a margin the crew can use.
- Bridge clearance
- 5.10 m
- Vessel air draft
- 4.35 m
- Remaining margin
- 0.75 m
