Home·Propulsion control · Retrofit
Modernise without detours.
Replace outdated propulsion control with minimal downtime — brand-independent, manageable and ready for the vessel's next phase of life.
More certainty, less downtime
A smart upgrade around what already works on board.
A retrofit does not have to mean a complete rebuild. We map the existing installation, retain useful components and replace vulnerable controls with a modern platform and clear interfaces.
Minimalimpact on the existing installation
Fastpreparation and installation
Freefrom legacy OEM dependence
What we deliver
What we deliver
Retrofit engineering
A replacement plan that intelligently connects existing signals and components to new technology.
New controls
Modern control cabinets, software, HMIs and bridge controls where the project requires them.
Future integrations
A dependable data foundation for Track Pilot, JIT sailing, remote control and further digitalisation.
Broad compatibility
Retrofit for virtually every propulsion installation.
We replace obsolete controls and automation around existing components. Where technically appropriate, engines, thrusters, cabling and drivetrains remain in place while the control layer is selectively renewed.
Main engine
Modernisation of mechanical or electronic engine controls, including RPM, start/stop, alarms and CAN/J1939.
Bow thruster
Replacement of old bridge panels, levers and relay logic with modern, maintainable controls.
Tunnel thruster
New control cabinets and interfaces for existing fixed- and controllable-pitch thrusters.
Azimuth thruster
Retrofit of thrust and steering control while retaining suitable hydraulics, drives and feedback signals.
Retractable thruster
Safe renewal of deploy/retract logic, interlocks, position feedback and propulsion control.
Drives & hybrid
Integration with variable-frequency drives, electric propulsion, batteries, PMS and new operating modes.
Supplier examples
Brand-independent retrofit.
Our standardised interfaces allow installations from a wide range of suppliers to be modernised. The brands below are examples; the final scope depends on component type, available signals and installation condition.

Controlled transition
Prepared ashore. Executed quickly on board.
Retain what works
We replace selectively and prevent unnecessary changes to propulsion components.
Brand-independent
The new controls connect with all common engines, drives, gearboxes and thrusters.
Short downtime
Engineering, assembly and testing happen in advance to shorten the yard window.
Longer service life
Available hardware and transparent software simplify maintenance and future upgrades.
From question to operation
From question to operation
Survey
On board, we document the present situation, risks and interfaces.
Plan
We determine what remains, what goes and how the changeover proceeds.
Prebuild
The solution is configured and tested before the vessel leaves service.
Conversion
Installation, commissioning and sea trial follow within a controlled window.
