Absolute becomes the first shipyard with Volvo Penta Assisted Docking across its entire range of yachts.
Featuring IPS engines on all boats, Absolute Yachts is the first shipyard to provide the new #volvopenta Assisted Docking system on its entire range.
Absolute and its engine supplier #volvopenta build on their long-standing partnership to offer boat owners around the world the Assisted Docking system, the latest innovation launched by the famous Swedish manufacturer in 2021.
By collaborating the leading manufacturer of high-end engines, Absolute is now the only shipyard in the world currently able to offer the new system on its entire range of boats, from 47 to 73 feet, for Navetta, Fly and Coupé categories, equipped with Volvo IPS 10 | 15 | 20 | 30 engines and with the new Assisted Docking technology.
Always at the forefront of innovative, high-performance solutions, #volvopenta has launched Assisted Docking to address the dual need to improve ease of use and safety.
The new technology was created to make docking easier and safer regardless of environmental conditions and the owner's years of experience. Featuring innovative software that coordinates engine electronics, positioning, IPS propulsion and sensors, the system interprets and automates the captain's intentions, automatically, compensating for dynamic variables such as wind and current, to ensure perfect docking.
The system consists of a joystick that controls the steering input, and a GPS-based dynamic positioning antenna. The captain maneuvers the boat with the joystick, informing the system which direction it should head and at what speed. Using the joystick, the software will hold the boat course automatically, adjusting for wind or current drift.
Enhancing the experience of all boat owners, the Assisted Docking system on Absolute boats will have global geographical coverage, from Europe to Asia, the USA and New Zealand, reaching Auckland with Absolute Navetta 58 and Fort Lauderdale with Absolute Navetta 73. Already available for boats with the IPS 10 propulsion system, #volvopenta and Absolute are already testing the system on boats featuring IPS15 and IPS30 which are already arranged for Assisted Docking on board.
“Our #collaboration with Absolute Yachts is an opportunity to test the Assisted Docking system on the entire range of #volvopenta IPS-powered boats, in line with our Easy Boating philosophy. The goal is to add value to both the shipyard and the end user, by creating a truly integrated system from the propeller through to transmission and throttles” says Andrea Piccione, Head of Marine Sales for #volvopenta.
