Superyachts, Cruise & ferry

Navis recognise that human cargo is the most precious of all and that smooth, safe vessel operation with exceptional situational and schedule awareness is key to providing a high performance in this space.

Challenges facing this segment

Time control

NavDP support speed control to ensure that your vessel meets its port schedule. Multi speed DP allows for seamless transit from holding position next to a delicate gangway to transiting open seas in time for crew and passenger changeover. Optimum acceleration and deceleration at regular ports allows for slower transit speeds greatly reducing fuel consumption.

Improved DPO productivity

Ease of use with multiple one button operations enables most DPOs to master the NavDP with ease. Importing routes directly from a wide variety of planning tools both improves productivity, accuracy and fuel economy.

Professional HMI designed to fit the bridge aesthetics

Whether you are running a superyacht or a cruise ship, passengers appreciate a slick professional and integrated look. The NavDP can sit under glass with a wide choice of professional looking monitors and joysticks that can be tailored to your specification. Not only does it look good but it allows for a clear, intuitive and fully integrated bridge. Industry standard dimming controls are available as both master and slave.

Reducing Vessel wear

Navis recognise their responsibility in keeping your vessel operational by avoiding unnecessary wear and tear. Control of your thrusters, propellors and rudders is a task we undertake with due attention to unnecessary wear. Features such as our smooth stopping and adaptive propulsion control and optimisation of propeller pitch vs speed makes NavDP and Thruster control a favourite of the Superyachts, Cruise & ferry community.

High situational awareness

Navis supports charts, asset plans and cable/pipe routes mapped onto its charting system. With the increasing availability of scanning based sensors (Laser and Radar) Navis now support live scans to be mapped onto the DP chart allowing for maximum situational awareness whether looking out of the window though a cluttered construction environment or onto the screen. Scanning instruments can now give tugs a full 3D image of their immediate surrounds supporting automatic collision avoidance of superstructures.

Improved Vessel productivity

NavDP have been pioneers in multi-speed DP systems allowing operators to dynamically adjust speed through operations. This feature enables 100% DP operations from port to port whether mooring a superyacht in Antibes or optimising the daily transit across the channel.

Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Ease of maintenance in challenged locations

Navis systems are built from commercial off the shelf components where possible giving our customers access to the widest spares market possible and making most repairs a case of plug and play with occasional remote support. Our business is outstanding vessel control and our worldwide service network exist in support of that.

Here is what our customers and partners say about their experience.

”Being harbor maneuvers, sailing in narrow channels, anchoring in areas with strong wind or current, it operates flawlessly. Operations in JP modes are extraordinary and very convincing.”

Lars Thrane
Chairman, Lars Thrane A/S M.Sc.E.E., Ph.D.

”We are very happy with its operation, the system is very precise and performing in all its modes, The DPS system is fantastic, it works very well in both our propulsion modes, Diesel and electric.”

Giorgio Prato
S/Y KAURIS IV, Genova

”There are new Min Power Heading and Hold Area modes when vessel is on standby outside of installation’s 500m zone!”
