The company said new features include Intelligent Route Planning, which takes into account weather and sea conditions to provide route and power optimization, which can bring notable fuel savings; scalable “plug-in” software for various applications; seamless integration with third party applications; remote maintenance; an easy-to-learn interface; and advanced security against possible cyber attacks.

"Wärtsilä has years of experience and deep in-house know-how in this field,” says Maik Stoevhase, director of automation, navigation and control at Wärtsilä Marine Solutions, “and the Nacos Platinum series is acknowledged as being a highly reliable and advanced aid to shipping around the world. This update will make it even more competitive."
