  • Advanced graphical ship design
  • DXF support · local chart projection support · worldwide chart datum support
  • Navionics worldwide chart database
  • Multiple suction tube sections
  • Viking modules expansion interface
  • Data import/export: XYZ, CSV, PDS2000, Hypack, LandXML, DXF 3DFACES

Typical applications

  • Offshore positioning · dredging · hydrographic survey
  • Maritime construction · machine control

Distance warning / windmill module

On-screen distances from the vessel to surrounding points; warnings when limits are crossed. Points can be updated in real time from external sensors (e.g. sonar) for moving objects — as described on ctsystems.eu.

Viking 3D cutter suction dredging view
Cutter suction and dredging — 3D DTM, tools, and production feedback.
Viking split barge dump and tracking view
Split barge — dump sequence and production tracking.
Viking shaded terrain and matrix view
Shaded matrix terrain — design vs as-built clarity for the crew.
Viking operations screen — chart and 3D context
Bridge-style view — charting and spatial context in one workspace.
Viking wire-crane grab operation plan and profile views
Wire-crane and grab operations — same platform, different licence modules.

Modular suite

License the modules you need on one install — bridge, dredge control room, or survey workstation.

DREDGING

Viking for dredging

Viking Dredge is a specialised build of Viking Navigation: 3D DTM dredging areas, suction pipe and tool interfacing, and production-oriented visualisation for trailing suction hopper dredgers, cutter dredgers, hydraulic excavators, and other tool types.

Example configurations: grab dredge · wire crane · dredging frame · cutter suction dredger · trailing suction hopper dredger · excavator.

OFFSHORE

Viking for offshore

Viking Offshore adds planning and operations tooling for mobile units and spreads:

  • Anchor planning
  • Dive support vessel positioning
  • Wind farm navigation
  • ROV and diving operations
  • Tug management system
  • Rig moves

Examples: dive support vessel · ROV operations · plus dredge configurations listed alongside Dredge.

SURVEY

Viking for survey

Viking Survey extends Viking Navigation with hydrographic sensors and logging — single beam, side scan, and multibeam — while keeping the same UI patterns.

  • Single beam sonar survey
  • Side scan sonar survey
  • Multibeam sonar survey

echo sounder support, sidescan support, realtime survey matrix, extensive Viking log format, 3D DTM matrix, graphical ship designer, DXF, Navionics charts, local projections.

Viking powers our GeoDredge systems and pairs with GeoSounder, Sentinel, and the rest of the hardware range.

Screens from real operations

A selection of captures from our project Viking image library — hopper and split-barge views, wire cranes, SBES, ROV/split-barge workflows, and shaded terrain.
