Optonaval has developed a market leading range of products for helicopter landing operations in the harsh and often hostile environment on ocean-going vessels and offshore applications.

Headquartered in Hamburg, the heart of Germany‘s maritime industry, we provide integrated sys-tems controlling and monitoring the landing procedures. A full range of lighting products designed to various international standards is provided. Beyond lighting we offer integrated data and com-munication packages for total heli deck control.

Optonaval‘s culture of innovation combined with many years of experience assures a constant stream of new and improved products.

InnovationsA dedicated team of enthusiastic engineers creates ever improving hard and software solutions. System DesignOur engineers develop custom-made systems, controls, lighting products and safety equipment integration according to your specification.

Project ManagementThe requirements of owners, shipyards and engineering companies are translated into action during each step of the building process.

Service and RefitsUpon the request to significantly extent the lifetime of a vessel, we refit and modernize the helideck equipment and landing systems to the latest technology and safety standards.

Engineering SupportWhatever the safety standard customers require and whether “new-builds”, refit or major moderni-zation, Optonaval advises on different solutions.

Modern mega yachts are highly complex and sophisticated vessels, engineered to most deman-ding technical standards, designed in every detail and used for world-wide sailing. Here, Optonaval contributes by developing state of the art equipment that can be adopted during a project and integrated into the vessels‘ electronic environment – while providing the safest helicopter operation available today.

Driven by aesthetics

• Custom designed to the owners‘ and designers‘ specs

• Undisturbed overall yacht design

• Lighting recessed maintaining flush deck

• Aiming Circle and H marking fully illuminated

• Withstanding harshest conditions

While on a Cruise Ship, passengers leave the world behind. They travel to remote places at sea and far away from everyday worries. We understand that peace of mind includes a link to shore whenever needed. This link is a helicopter landing system. Our systems support everyday, normal and emergen-cy procedures whether the helicopter is needed for logistics in extremely remote locations, to provide passenger excursions, or when urgent medical attention is required which can only be provided on shore.

Your link to shore

• Supports ship´s identification, pilot‘s approach as well as landing procedures in all conditions

• Designed to be flexibly integrated into the ship’s superstructure

• Supports the pilot in safe landing

• Integrated into the vessel‘s control and operation interfaces

Offshore operations work on tight schedules and need to reliably assure planned performance. The final helicopter approach can be the most time consuming procedure when not operated properly. Optonaval’s helicopter landing systems assure that helicopter platforms can be precisely identified from a large distance, shortening the approach time while reducing the pilot´s workload to concentrate on manoeuvring safely. Reliable transport is key to controlling cost in operations.

Reliable transport

• Designed to increase situational awareness, decrease pilot workload

and improve approach stabilization

• Supports the pilot, the FDO and the bridge in landing safely and on time

• Supports the ship´s identification, the pilot‘s approach as well as hover and landing
