  • System and method for communicating near-real time marine navigation information
    Patent number: 10029769
    Abstract: A system for providing near real time navigation information includes a first communication device configured to transmit collection vessel data representing collection vessel draft and a geoposition. It also includes a second communication device configured to transmit user vessel data, including user vessel draft and user geoposition. A processing device is configured to determine a keel verified depth (KVD) based upon the collection vessel depth for the geoposition and transmit that data to the second communication device.
