Project Description

Automation and Control

Winch control, propeller control, as well as alarm and monitoring systems are part of the control systems offered by Kongsberg. These systems are installed on a large portion of the Icelandic fleet and have been in use for decades. Kongsberg Maritime systems are available both for newbuilds and as upgrades to existing vessels, regardless of the systems currently in place.

Propeller Control

Mcon represents the latest generation of control systems, designed for a wide range of propulsion and propeller equipment from Kongsberg as well as other suppliers. It incorporates decades of expertise as a leading provider of propellers, thrusters, and steering gear, along with comprehensive support for the extensive portfolio of legacy products.
