Propulsion Control

Electric or combustion, the propulsion system is the beating heart of any vessel. ComAp gives shipbuilders and system integrators reliable, pre-engineered control across the full range of marine propulsion, from diesel-mechanical shaft lines to fully electric, VFD-driven motors, all from a single automation ecosystem. Spend less time engineering from scratch and more time getting your vessel on the water.

How it works

Monitoring and protecting the prime mover is at the heart of safe, reliable, and cost-effective ship operations. The InteliDrive 700 Marine supervises both mechanical and electronically governed internal combustion engines, handling high-speed and medium-speed prime movers up to 10 MW. Preprogrammed applications for propulsion, auxiliary, emergency, and harbour engines do the heavy lifting, keeping the system simple to operate while an extensive PLC editor leaves room for flexibility.


ComAp’s range of packaged marine panels applies to a large number of operations and installations on vessels.

Primarily focused on the commercial marine market and available with IACS certification, the objective of this range of products is to provide our delivery channel with pre-engineered, capable, and compliant equipment. Typically, these provide great value to engine packagers who have low electrical capabilities, operators who want to upgrade instrumentation on board, and in instances where enhanced features or functionality is required compared to the existing installation. 



ComAp has a long collaboration history with numerous OEMs, providing reliable monitoring protection solutions.

The ComAp OEM package can be extended to relevant engines in the manufacturer’s marine engine portfolio. The solution merges the expertise and trusted names of both ComAp and the OEM, providing flexibility, extendability, and communication capability for the engine management system


Reccomended products for mechanical propulsion:



As vessels move towards battery-hybrid and fully electric drivelines, controlling propulsion, typically the largest electrical load on board, becomes central to safe and efficient operation. The Propulsion Control System (PCS) on InteliMains 1010 Marine delivers pre-engineered control for variable frequency drives in both AC-bus and DC-bus variants, so integrators configure parameters rather than write and class-approve bespoke PLC code. Running on the same controller as ComAp's power management, it reads the available power reserve and shapes the speed reference accordingly, so an aggressive throttle demand cannot overload the running sources or trigger a blackout.
