About Trimble Marine

Trimble offers flexible, high-performance positioning systems to
meet the unique needs of marine construction on both simple
and complex projects. Solutions include both hardware and
software, and can be easily integrated into third-party systems. The
portfolio includes marine information systems (e.g. Trimble Marine
Construction software), GNSS receivers, antennas, radios, encoders, depth gauges
and inertial positioning systems.

Trimble Marine Construction software is transforming the way marine operations

work by helping build and maintain the world’s port, river, canal and other critical
infrastructure. Trimble continues to transform this industry’s work across the project
lifecycle through sophisticated planning and design, advanced automation solutions,
site positioning, and real time connectivity.
