SHIPS MOVEMENT INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM
The Ships Movement Information Display System (SMIDS) measures speed
over ground at the bow and the stern of the vessel. The system replaces the
SONAR Doppler-docking systems with satellite technology.
Significant savings can be made when retrofitting an existing docking system
with SMIDS as the existing Doppler system cables will normally be utilised
hence saving time and money. The system can be installed without the need to
A M I M ARINE LTD dry-dock as it can also be fitted whilst the ship is in transit thus avoiding opera-

Marine Navigation This is the central control box and DC power supply for all the displays. The
MEU has two processes which: -
Interfacing.
1. Combines and distributes the raw data to the SMIDS displays.
2. Distributes the processed data from the Navigational display i.e.
$VDVBW bow and stern dual axis speed & $VDVLW
$HEHDT heading and $HEROT,
$GPGGA, $GPGLL, $GPVTG, $GPZDA & $GPDTM

The SMIDS satellite receivers and antenna are installed at the bow and the
stern. They send the “raw sensor data” to the MEU.
