AUTOPILOT
PT900 with Fuel Saving Function

BNACC optimize the rudder movement, so as to maintain stable sailing speed and reduce fuel consumption.

ECOP (optional) enhances fuel effiiciency by optimizing ground control to minimize track deviation.

Older models can be upgraded to incorporate BNACC and ECOP functionality.

The PT900 Autopilot, engineered by YDK (formerly Yokogawa), offers a comprehensive solution for maintaining optimal vessel heading, providing significant savings in time, fuel, and operational effort. It’s a versatile system designed to meet the needs of both small and large vessels, ensuring compliance with IMO MSC64(67) Annex 3 standards for heading control systems, while improving economic efficiency, safety, and usability.

Key Features:

  • 7-inch color LCD Display: For easy monitoring and control.
  • Improved fuel efficiency: Through advanced heading and course control functions.
  • Easy scalability: The system adopts inter-device networking and supports diverse specifications.
  • Compliance: Conforms to classification standards for ships in Japan (JG), the EU (MED: Wheelmark), and China (CCS).
  • Upgrade compatibility: Serves as an upgrade for PT70 & PT500 systems.
Description

 

Available in two models

  • PT900A (Adaptive): Features fuel-saving technologies.
  • PT900D (PID): Optimized for precision control.

 

Eco-friendly and fuel-saving for a greener future

Both models offer clear visibility through a 7-inch color display, with touch-panel functionality for intuitive operation. The PT900A includes the BNAAC fuel-saving heading control, and both models offer the optional E-Course Pilot for enhanced fuel-efficient course control, contributing to substantial fuel savings and improved performance

The PT900 autopilot efficiently manages the steering gear to maintain a ship’s heading automatically. Whether using a solenoid valve, torque motor, or another actuator type, the system adjusts control mechanisms based on the specific steering gear installed on the vessel. This flexibility makes the PT900 suitable for all types of steering gear used in general merchant vessels.

 

What’s included

  • Control stand and autopilot steering unit (Adaptive type with built-in BCC)
  • Hand steering unit and steering repeater compass
  • Mode switch (Auto-Hand) and System/NFU switch
  • Annunciator unit and terminal unit
  • Two control and power boxes for autopilot
  • Two Mu-Transmitter feedback units (Double Pot)

 

With its fuel-saving capabilities, scalability, and advanced control features, the PT900 autopilot is a reliable choice for maintaining precise control over your vessel’s heading, making navigation more efficient and safer.
