Abstract
The New Berthing Support System (NBSS) will enable position fix-accuracy to within 10cm. It is global and is an effective system to assist LNG tankers, VLCC and other dangerous goods carriers for their safe berthing and entering/leaving port. The system consists of an on-board, maritime mobile station and a base station shore-side. A major function of the mobile station is to record data, sound the alarm on such as course deviation, the monitoring of the velocity component and the position of an object vessel. The major function of the base station is in the management of safe navigation, and to transfer weather at sea information and alike to the mobile station
