HyperPilot

Supervised speed execution helps vessel crews and shore teams apply voyage plans through the propulsion system. HyperPilot, the onboard automation system from DeepSea Technologies, connects recommendations with engine-output adjustments. The workflow brings plan delivery, speed-pilot control and ongoing checks into the vessel’s operating routine under the captain’s supervision.

Pythia, the voyage-planning platform, supplies route and speed plans from the shore team through a satellite connection. The onboard system interprets the plan as waypoint-to-waypoint speed instructions and interfaces with the vessel’s speed-pilot unit. Integrations include Nabtesco, Kongsberg and Manta Marine speed-pilot providers. The execution workflow also connects the route file through ECDIS, the electronic chart and navigation system, to the propulsion arrangement.

The onboard system checks position, speed and operating conditions while applying the plan. It notifies users of deviations and disengages when course, schedule or operating-limit checks require it. The captain retains control, and the supplier’s captains and naval engineers support integration and crew training. These plan, control and notification functions support the team’s supervised execution of voyage-speed decisions through the connected propulsion system.
