Volvo Penta Assisted Docking

Monday, Feb 1, 2021

the next generation of Marine Automation...

Volvo Penta Assisted Docking is a new boat docking system that compensates for some external elemental forces and allows you to navigate tight areas with higher precision. The Volvo Penta Assisted Docking system integrates the Volvo Penta Dynamic Positioning System and Inboard Performance System (IPS) to deliver a fully integrated helm to prop package. Combining automation with control, Assisted Docking is the latest of a series of marine automations by Volvo Penta. Volvo Penta Assisted Docking helps to keep the course intended by the captain, who must always be at the helm and in control of the boat. Take control with Volvo Penta Assisted Docking — the next generation of marine automation. 

The Volvo Penta Assisted Docking system consists of the joystick that controls the steering input and the GPS-based Volvo Penta Dynamic Positioning System antenna to know the exact position and heading. The captain manoeuvres the vessel with the joystick thereby controlling direction and speed. If you move the joystick forward, the system lays out a path straight forward from the boat and the boat starts to follow a straight line with the indicated speed. The Volvo Penta Assisted Docking systeom also takes into account external forces like wind and current and the EVC compensates to ensure the boat follows the intention of the Captain. It does this by calculating drive angles and thrust, then acts on the drift and moves the boat back to its intended course. The Volvo Penta boat docking system keeps this course by constantly fine tuning the steering angles and thrust. For further questions, please contact Volvo Penta or your local Volvo Penta Dealer.
