Fuel-saving features optimise rudder movements and minimise fuel consumption.

• Heading and Rudder Plot, Course Control Mode, ECOnomy mode and Toe Angle function optimise steering characteristics, reduce rudder activity or reduce rudder angles (and speed loss).
• Autopilot functions and settings alone or in combination reduce fuel consumption by 2.5 %.
• Less fuel consumption means less cost, less emissions and an improved CII rating.

Proven steering algorithms ensure highly precise and reliable steering in heading control, course control and track control modes.

• Excellent steering performance even at low speeds, which is of special importance when navigating narrow sailing areas, islands and archipelagos.
• In course control mode the autopilot compensates drift deviations automatically. Approved as part of a track control system in combination with ECDIS NX
• Crews can rely on intuitive operation and full fingertip control, with user adjustable limits for permanent sensor and performance monitoring.

NautoPilot 5000 NX is your best choice today and ready for the future:

• Long product lifecycle and a standardized, future-proof hardware
• Support of standardized bridge alert management
• Support of standardized Ethernet communication according to IEC 61162-450 (most installations will use Ethernet in future)

• Full control thanks to intuitive autopilot operation

  NautoPilot 5000 NX is easy to operate and offers a clear presentation of all navigational information on its large 7” graphical touch display. It's new feature, the Simplified View, offers a well-arranged presentation of relevant information at a glance. Autopilot operation and parameter adjustments become possible by simply touching the relevant area of the display. Navigators can rely on full steering control at their fingertips.

  NautoPilot 5000 NX is easy to integrate in newbuilding or refit projects

  The best way is to combine NautoPilot 5000 NX with a NautoSteer AS steering gear control system by using the redundant CAN bus without requiring a separate interface unit. Remote operator units can be connected via Ethernet.

  For use in combination with other steering gear control systems or in refits, an autopilot interface unit is available. This interface unit provides a multitude of interfaces to the steering gear control system or directly to the steering gear. NautoPilot 5000 NX stand-alone installations can also be extended with additional remote operator units, or with tillers / handwheels to form a compact steering control system.

  NautoPilot 5000 NX is the ideal autopilot solution for ships 100 meters in length or longer.
