NavAP

Overview

Vessel types

Autopilot is designed to fit literally any type of the ship.
It conforms with the latest requirements, and in combination with several ECDIS is approved as a track control category C and DNV-GL NAUT (AW) class notation.

ROT pilot mode is available for river-going vessels.
For specific application we can offer control of the vessel heading on a slow speed using bow thruster assistance.

Interfaces

All interfaces are supplied in a one single box so you just choose the right one during commissioning, no need to select cards before order. You can just keep one autopilot on your stock, that can fit to any type of the gears to have the fastest delivery time to your customer.

Propulsion

We have experience with all the types of propulsion units — rudders, water-jets, azimuth thruster including multiple azimuth thrusters installation.

Complicated projects

One of the most complicated project we have now is a 300m length LNG carrier, featuring independent control of 3 azimuth thrusters and a redundant installation of two autopilots onboard.
If you have not the typical configuration or specific requirements — let us know. We are ready to customize the system, prepare project specific quotes and drawings.

«Navis NavAP 5 was installed in September 2019

With good clear instructions we were able to calibrate the NavAP 5 during our voyage from Finland to Turkey.
The movement of the rudder in heading mode and course mode are now at lot less compared to our previous AP3000 autopilot.
The NavAP 5 has a good overview of all important settings on the display.
Also these settings are easy to change with the knob and set button.
The display has a nice colour settings for day/dusk/night.

Very handy & easy to operate
Can adjust the conditions of the ship
Set courses can be adjusted to decimals».
