ULSTEIN AUTOMATION solutions
Managing a vessel's power, propulsion and safety systems across screens from different suppliers gets harder as those systems age, whether you're specifying automation for a newbuild or upgrading an existing vessel, and a part failing or a blackout can mean real downtime. Ulstein automation solutions bring these systems together on one platform, X-CONNECT®, through our Integrated Automation System (IAS), Power Management System (PMS) and Energy Management System (EMS), built for both newbuild and retrofit projects. Together they give your crew full oversight, help prevent downtime and blackouts, and lower your vessel's lifecycle cost, backed by a partner that has delivered marine automation systems for decades.
Power Management System (PMS)
Keeping a vessel's generators and switchboards balanced gets complex fast, whether you're specifying power management for a newbuild or upgrading an ageing system, and a missed fault can mean a blackout. ULSTEIN PMS is a Power Management System (PMS) that gives complete control of your vessel's power generation from one interface, fully integrated in our X-CONNECT® platform, for both newbuild and retrofit projects. It gives instant feedback on failures as they happen, helps prevent and recover from blackouts, and supports smart circuit breakers that free up switchboard space, for a safer vessel at a lower lifecycle cost.
Energy Management System (EMS)
Cutting fuel use and emissions while keeping power stable is a growing demand on every vessel, whether you're specifying hybrid power for a newbuild or adding battery storage to an existing vessel, and getting it wrong risks a blackout or needless wear on your generators. ULSTEIN EMS is an Energy Management System (EMS) that manages power generation and battery storage from one interface, fully integrated with our X-CONNECT® platform and your ULSTEIN PMS, for both newbuild and retrofit hybrid and battery-only systems. It reduces fuel consumption and generator wear, uses battery power as a spinning reserve to help prevent blackouts, and meets varying class society requirements, for a safer, more sustainable vessel at a lower lifecycle cost.
Integrated Automation System (IAS)
Power, propulsion, cargo and safety systems on separate screens slow your crew down, whether you're specifying automation for a newbuild or upgrading an ageing system on an existing vessel. Ulstein IAS is an Integrated Automation System (IAS) that brings these systems together in one intuitive platform, built on our X-CONNECT® technology, for both newbuild and retrofit projects. It gives your crew a full overview, faster alarms, and a safer, more reliable vessel at a lower lifecycle cost, backed by a partner that has delivered marine automation systems for decades.
Do you need to upgrade your automation system?
Vessel owners should use new technology to protect their operations in the digital age. Older automation systems are nearing the end of their useful life, which increases the chances of parts failing and causing downtime. Upgrading these systems is a smart choice that helps ensure smooth operations.

Feasibility studies
Ulstein carries out multiple studies, one of which is feasibility studies. A feasibility study provides the insight for selecting the best solution towards CAPEX, OPEX and environmental impact. Here's an example of how we can carry out an energy storage feasibility study.
Batteries for peak loads
Batteries can supply energy when peak loads occur in ship operations, otherwise being handled by the increased use of the diesel engines.
Performance optimising
Performance optimising helps you operate your ship smarter and more efficiently by analysing the ship's data.
System integration
Cutting-edge solutions that optimise vessel performance and enhance operational efficiency.
