ANSCHUTZ NAUTOPILOT NP5000 NX
NautoPilot 5000NX is the new Anschütz autopilot. It includes unique algorithms that ensure highly precise steering performance where it is needed, even at low speeds.
NautoPilot 5000NX also includes the world's most comprehensive range of fuel-saving features that reduce emissions and cost. Reduced fuel consumption also improves the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating of the respective ship.
Do you care about fuel consumption?
Speed, rudder movements, weather conditions and the characteristics of the ship all affect steering performance. Years of experience in the field have shown that Anschütz autopilots contribute significantly to fuel savings when adapted correctly to these conditions. The NautoPilot 5000 NX has been developed based on this experience and offers the widest range of features on the market that, alone or in combination, help to reduce fuel consumption. This has been confirmed in sea trials.
Rudder activity increases fuel consumption and costs. The Heading & Rudder Plot provides an instant overview about heading, set heading and rudder activity. This transparency allows the bridge team to monitor steering performance, and adjust and optimize autopilot settings in order to minimize rudder activity.
In Course Control mode, NautoPilot 5000 NX steers the vessel on a course-over-ground line and automatically compensates for drift deviations. The travelled distance between two points is reduced to a minimum automatically, and sailing the shortest distance has effect on fuel consumption. Continuous heading adjustments lead to smaller rudder angles and less loss of speed compared to manual operation.
The ECO mode makes the NautoPilot 5000 NX smart. The autopilot permanently monitors the actual yawing movements of the vessel, depending on load and sea conditions. Symmetrical movements as well as movements that do not need to be corrected due to the inertial behavior of the ship are filtered out and not corrected by the autopilot. The result: permanent fuel savings through less rudder activity at the push of a button.
