HoistCam enhances barge and tug operations by giving crews and crane operators real-time visibility of deck activity, cargo, and blind spots in dynamic marine environments.
HOISTCAM for barges & tugs
Barge and tug operations are critical to marine logistics, construction, and offshore support, but they also come with significant visibility and safety challenges. Whether pushing cargo upriver, maneuvering in tight harbors, or supporting offshore lifts, operators often lack a clear view of the deck, hook, or nearby crew. These blind spots increase the risk of miscommunication, dropped loads, collisions, and safety incidents. HoistCam solves this by delivering live, wireless video to the operator or captain, providing real-time situational awareness where it matters most.
HoistCam camera systems are ruggedized for marine use, built to withstand saltwater exposure, vibration, and harsh weather. They magnetically mount to crane hooks, booms, decks, or superstructures and transmit live video wirelessly to monitors in the operator’s cab, tug wheelhouse, or control station. This real-time view dramatically improves coordination between tug pilots, crane operators, and deck crews during loading, mooring, or lift operations.
From towing and cargo transfers to offshore staging and marine construction support, HoistCam enhances safety, speeds up operations, and reduces the need for radio-based communication or spotters. The optional HoistCam Director platform extends capabilities further, enabling remote monitoring, documentation, and real-time oversight by shore-based supervisors or marine coordinators.
In barge and tug operations where precision and safety are non-negotiable, HoistCam provides the visibility to work faster, smarter, and safer, no matter the conditions on the water.
