Boat dynamic positioning system (DPS)

Shipcontroller DPS is an automatic control system that maintains the boat’s position and heading within very tight margins of error. Launched in 2021, it marked a milestone by being the first affordable, general-purpose DPS system that can be installed with a wide variety of boat propulsion configurations. Shipcontroller DPS is especially useful in situations such as: Preparing for docking or anchoring, keeping the boat in position while you prepare the fenders or anchor. During docking or anchoring maneuvers, helping maintain the position while you carry out the maneuvers. While waiting for your turn to refuel. In bottom fishing, keeping the boat positioned over the fishing ground without needing to deploy a long anchor line. Shipcontroller DPS is activated, deactivated, and controlled via a EZVector or DockerPro remote control. In fact, DPS is one of the operating modes of the remote. The DPS system also offers a docking assistance feature: when activated, the remote retains full control of the propulsion systems. The assistance function allows you to easily adjust the boat’s position or heading using the remote controls, and when you release the controls, DPS automatically reactivates to maintain the current position. This provides valuable assistance and ensures safety during docking or approach maneuvers.
