One system. Complete control.

A complete, brand-independent propulsion control system for new vessels — fast to engineer, straightforward to integrate and ready for what comes next.

Built around your vessel

From control cabinet to bridge. One integrated package.

Smart-Ship connects engines, drives, gearboxes, thrusters, controls and HMIs in one dependable technical foundation. Fewer interfaces for the yard, more freedom for the integrator and intuitive control for the crew.

What we deliver

What we deliver

01

Control cabinets

Preconfigured and tested cabinets matched to the vessel's I/O and network architecture.

02

Bridge controls

Levers, joysticks, tillers and HMIs in one consistent control environment.

03

Propulsion integration

Control and readout of engines, drives, gearboxes and thrusters, independent of brand.

04

Data & interfaces

Standard interfaces with navigation, alarm monitoring, EMS, PMS and external systems.

Supported propulsion

One control platform for every propulsion configuration.

Smart-Ship integrates all common propulsion components into one clear, brand-independent control system — from conventional diesel to electric and hybrid installations.

Main engine

Start/stop, speed, direction, monitoring and communication with diesel, gas or dual-fuel engines.

Bow thruster

Precise bridge control for manoeuvring, including power limitation, feedback and alarms.

Tunnel thruster

Stepless control of fixed- or controllable-pitch tunnel thrusters through one consistent interface.

Azimuth thruster

Combined thrust and 360° steering control, including position feedback and interlocks.

Retractable thruster

Control of deploy and retract sequences, locking, azimuth position and propulsion power.

Electric & hybrid

Integration of electric motors, variable-frequency drives, energy management and hybrid operating modes.

Smart by design

Technology that speeds up integration.

01

One point of contact

A complete control package prevents fragmented responsibilities between suppliers.

02

Standard interfaces

CAN, J1939, NMEA, Modbus, Ethernet and conventional I/O keep integration clear.

03

Tested before delivery

Configuration and system logic are built and verified in advance wherever possible.

04

Ready to expand

The same foundation can later support remote support, Track Pilot, JIT sailing and autonomous functions.

From question to operation

From question to operation

01

Definition

We map propulsion components, control positions and interfaces.

02

Engineering

Hardware, software and network architecture are configured for the project.

03

FAT & installation

We test the solution and support its installation on board.

04

Commissioning

The complete system is tuned, tested and handed over.
