Control Systems

Veth Control Systems are designed for seamless integration and precision handling of propulsion systems. With user-friendly interfaces and advanced control features, they provide captains with intuitive operation and real-time
responsiveness. Whether managing azimuth thrusters or bow thrusters, Veth's solutions ensure smooth, accurate, and reliable vessel control. Our customizable control systems enhance safety, efficiency, and overall vessel performance, supporting a wide range of marine applications worldwide.

About the Veth Control Systems

At Veth Propulsion, we believe that control systems should be as intuitive and reliable as the propulsion or bow thruster systems they operate. That’s why we develop and produce all control systems entirely in-house, ensuring seamless integration, maximum efficiency, and the highest levels of serviceability. The Veth Control System (VCS) offers real-time monitoring, data logging, and alarm diagnostics, providing operators with complete oversight and control over their vessel’s propulsion. By keeping all hardware and software development under one roof, we ensure fast service, consistent quality, and a tailored approach to each customer’s unique requirements.

Veth’s dedicated R&D department for electronics is continuously innovating and refining the systems, ensuring they remain at the forefront of marine technology. This in-house expertise allows us to deliver custom-built solutions without relying on third-party manufacturers, guaranteeing rapid response times, full control over updates and modifications, and a long-term commitment to supporting every system we install. A stock of essential parts is also maintained, ensuring quick service and minimizing vessel downtime.

Seamless integration and customization

One of the standout features of Veth Control Systems is their adaptability. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, the systems are highly configurable to fit the operational needs of each vessel. Customers have complete flexibility when it comes to system setup—whether it’s modifying lever configurations, integrating third-party Dynamic Positioning (DP) or Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) interfaces, or tailoring control responses to match the operator’s preferences. For instance, if you prefer a nonstandard lever orientation, we can customize it to match their specific handling style, ensuring intuitive operation without compromising efficiency.

With the VCS 5.2 version, every custom modificationis immediately stored as a standard software option, making it easier for future customers to adopt similar setups and simplifying service operations. This evolution makes the system more configurable, serviceable, and adaptable than ever before. The new design also features more compact, aesthetically refined control panels, ideal for high-end applications such as luxury yachts where space and visual appeal are crucial.

 

Cutting-Edge Features and Unmatched Safety

Veth Control Systems are built not just to meet but to exceed industry safety standards. The latest VCS 5.2 includes redundancy measures that ensure continued operation even in the event of a major failure. If the primary control system encounters an issue, the emergency system automatically engages, allowing the vessel to maintain maneuverability and propulsion until it reaches safety.

For the Z-Drive thrusters, we now offer advanced travel levers. These provide real-time feedback on steering angle limitations, power reduction advisories, and throttle control, helping operators avoid pushing the system beyond its optimal limits. If too much throttle is applied, the lever retracts and provides a tactile warning, preventing unnecessary strain on the propulsion system. This level of feedback enhances the communication between the system and the captain, resulting in smoother, safer, and more efficient vessel operation.

A Commitment to Long-Term Service and Support

Veth Propulsion provides a full-service package—from initial system design to long-term maintenance. The dedicated control system service department ensures that any issues are diagnosed and resolved quickly, minimizing vessel downtime. Because we manage all development and historical data in-house, we can provide support for control systems decades after their installation. Even for systems that are 30 to 40 years old, we have the necessary parts and knowledge to service and maintain them, eliminating the need for costly system overhauls. Additionally, the Type Approvals ensure full traceability of materials and configurations used in past installations. This allows us to efficiently support and upgrade older systems, extending their operational lifespan and reinforcing our commitment to long-term reliability.

Designed for the future of marine propulsion

At Veth Propulsion, we don’t just build control systems—we build long-term solutions. Whether for commercial vessels, yachts, or specialized marine applications, VCS offers an intuitive, reliable, and fully customizable experience. With a focus on safety, efficiency, and customer-driven innovation, Veth Control Systems ensure that every vessel operates at its highest potential, now and in the future.
