Refurbished
The KONGSBERG AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control System is a highly advanced marine propulsion automation and remote engine control system designed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient operation of a vessel's main propulsion plant. The equipment shown in the image includes various AutoChief C20 operator stations, control panels, processors, propulsion control modules, and associated system components commonly found onboard commercial vessels worldwide.
The AutoChief C20 is widely recognized throughout the maritime industry as a reliable propulsion control platform capable of managing complex propulsion arrangements from both the bridge and engine control room. The system enables operators to safely control engine speed, direction, clutch functions, controllable pitch propellers, maneuvering operations, and propulsion system monitoring through an integrated automation architecture.
Modern vessels demand highly reliable propulsion control systems because propulsion failures can directly impact vessel safety, operational efficiency, and commercial performance. The AutoChief C20 was developed to provide redundancy, fault monitoring, operator-friendly interfaces, and seamless integration with vessel automation systems.
For ship owners, operators, chief engineers, and technical managers, the AutoChief C20 offers a proven solution for maintaining propulsion reliability while improving vessel maneuverability and operational safety.
The KONGSBERG AutoChief C20 serves as the central propulsion control platform onboard a vessel. It provides integrated command and monitoring functions between the bridge, engine control room, propulsion machinery, and associated automation systems.
The system receives operator commands from bridge maneuvering stations and translates these commands into controlled propulsion responses. The controller supervises engine operation, clutch engagement, shaft speed control, pitch regulation, and safety interlocks while continuously monitoring propulsion system status.
The AutoChief C20 architecture typically consists of:
The system is suitable for both fixed pitch propeller and controllable pitch propeller installations.
Because propulsion systems represent one of the most critical vessel functions, the AutoChief C20 incorporates extensive safety features and fault monitoring capabilities to ensure dependable operation under all sailing conditions.
The AutoChief C20 provides precise propulsion control for maneuvering, cruising, harbor operations, and emergency situations. Operators can maintain accurate speed and direction control under varying operating conditions.
The system supports operation from multiple control locations, allowing seamless transfer of command authority between bridge and engine control room stations.
Critical control functions are supported by redundant processors and communication channels, improving system availability and reducing operational risks.
The AutoChief C20 continuously monitors propulsion status, engine parameters, feedback signals, alarms, and safety functions to ensure safe operation.
Comprehensive alarm handling and fault diagnostics assist engineers in identifying and resolving issues before they develop into critical failures.
Modern display units and control stations provide operators with intuitive access to propulsion information, operational modes, and system status.
The system has been developed specifically for marine environments where vibration, temperature fluctuations, humidity, and continuous operation are routine conditions.
