Wärtsilä introduces updated version of its Nacos Platinum navigation, automation and control system
The Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum series of navigation, automation and control systems has been updated to include a number of new functions, the company said in its press release.
The updated version will be introduced at the SMM conference and exhibition taking place in Hamburg, Germany from September 5 to 9.
Among the most interesting of the new functions is Intelligent Route Planning, which takes into account weather and sea conditions to provide route and power optimisation and, therefore, notable fuel savings. Automated execution is also available.
