"We envisage a fundamental shift in future helm design. This latest iteration of joystick driving opens entirely new possibilities for helm design, catering to the evolving preferences of the marine industry. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) now can create pioneering helm stations and driving experiences. It is an excellent solution for all kinds of vessels, small or large, including commercial ships, guaranteeing comfort over extended periods. The joystick can be conveniently installed on the armrest of the driver's seat, ensuring an ergonomic driving posture.

The acceleration will be proportional to the angle of the joystick. Simply push the joystick forward to engage the gear, speed up or slow down, and release it to remain at a certain speed.
With the new joystick driving, you won't just level up your skills you'll redefine them. Now, maneuverability, course adjustment, throttle and shift can be controlled through one joystick - and therefore, a single hand.Ī unique innovation for the marine industry, joystick driving, sets a new benchmark in intuitive, flexible driving - one that transforms the game entirely. Since 2012, joystick steering has been an integral part of the company's trademark helm-to-propeller experience.
