ESP 1000 Speed Pilot

It's Easy to Use

Operation of the ESP 1000 is similar to the cruise control in your car. Just press the Engage button and it maintains, your present speed, automatically adjusting throttles as wind or currents change. Or, enter your desired ground speed and it sets your engine RPM to maintain that speed automatically.

What makes the ESP 1000 better than a cruise control is how it helps you save money. With multiple operating modes specifically designed for the marine environment, the ESP 1000 ensures your vessel operates at peak efficiency all the time.

ESP 1000 Speed Pilot Operating Modes

bulletBest Speed Mode: Maintains the highest possible ground speed on the least amount of fuel.
bulletSet Speed Mode: In this mode the desired vessel ground speed is maintained automatically.
bulletAutomatic mode:  Sets the speed of the vessel based on distance & time to go values entered into the system. Gets you there on time, using the least amount of fuel.
bulletRPM Mode: Provides precision digital setting of desired engine RPM and balances engines automatically at the touch of a button.

Good Information = Good Decisions

Efficient fleet and vessel management is all about knowing what's really going on. Both on the vessel in real time and back at head office after a job is complete. The ESP 1000 automatically collects vessel performance data and distills it into useful information. With the ESP 1000, you can replay and analyze a voyage creating graphs and statistical data on the vessel and back on shore.  Follow the links below to learn more about the systems data recording and analysis capabilities.
