Always the pioneer: Volvo Penta’s Assisted Docking system set to confirm Azimut Yachts rule the waves
Azimut Yachts was the first of Volvo Penta’s European customers to test the new Volvo Penta Assisted #technology. Innovation #technology is a focal point for Azimut Yachts: the company has a specific and constantly evolving innovation program that aims to make the customer experience the best possible. Volvo Penta’s Assisted Docking fits perfectly within this framework – enabling #azimutyachts to provide its owners an enhanced cruising experience, making life easier on board and much more intuitive. The two companies have worked together to install the new Assisted Docking #technology into an Azimut Atlantis 45 and the system was tested by the Azimut team in Florida.
“I was blown away by the Assisted Docking system,” says #federicoferrante, President Azimut | Benetti Americas. “Azimut Yachts is a company that’s extremely receptive to innovation. We’re always aiming to change the status quo, to think out of the box. For us Volvo Penta’s Assisted Docking was a no-brainer, it’s a game-changer for easy docking. Assisted Docking is just another step towards a better product, a better experience for our customer.”
The system
Volvo Penta’s Assisted Docking system integrates a software layer developed in-house with the company’s GPS-based Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) and proprietary Inboard Performance Systems (IPS) for a complete package including HMI (human-machine interface) at the helm, electronics via the engine, propulsion systems, sensors, and advanced navigation processing power for a much easier boating experience, even in rough conditions.
“At Volvo Penta, we are all about the Easy Boating philosophy,” says #johaninden, President Region Europe, Volvo Penta. “Our aim has long been to make boating easier, safer, and cost-effective for our existing customers, whilst, at the same time, making boating attractive and accessible to new customers. We are continuously working on innovations to achieve these goals and ultimately enhance the boating experience – Assisted Docking is our latest technological success in this field.”
The Assisted Docking system will gradually be introduced – in a step-by-step process – starting in Spring 2021. It will be available for installation on new boat models, as an upgradeable option for Volvo Penta IPS-equipped motor yachts sized 35ft to 120ft long. The Assisted Docking system will be sold directly to Original Equipment Manufacturers.
