Description

Dynamic Positioning System

Maintain perfect control, no matter the conditions.

Our Dynamic Positioning (DP) System enables your vessel to automatically hold its position and heading using GPS data—ideal for applications that require stability, precision, and hands-free station-keeping. Once activated, the system continuously adjusts thrust output to counteract wind, current, or drift, allowing for effortless operation even in challenging environments.

With the integrated joystick interface, you can easily fine-tune your vessel’s heading or shift its position with intuitive, real-time control. Whether you’re docking, waiting at a lock, or operating in tight offshore zones, the DP system significantly reduces operator workload and improves safety.

We offer flexible system configurations to suit different propulsion setups:

  • 2x Steerable PODs

  • 2x Fixed PODs + 1 Bow thruster

  • 1x Steerable POD+ 1x Bow Thruster

As a manufacturer of high-efficiency electric propulsion systems, we ensure seamless integration between motor control and positioning software, resulting in smooth, responsive performance and quiet operation.

Note: Customers are responsible for providing their own GPS device that is compatible with the NMEA2000 protocol required for integration with our Dynamic Positioning System.

Experience precise positioning, smart vessel control, and a new level of convenience with our Dynamic Positioning solution—built for the next generation of electric boating.
