With its outstanding steering accuracy, the NautoPilot 5300 NX fulfils Ektank's high safety and quality standards. Even at low speeds, the autopilot has proven its precise performance, which is essential for navigation in narrow and sensitive sea areas as well as between islands and archipelagos.

The new autopilot also ensures a more efficient ship operation. The combination of various functions to increase efficiency in steering performance can save up to 2.5% fuel according to previous findings, which in turn leads to lower emissions.

Important functions include an ECO mode which filters out regular ship movements due to weather or sea conditions and, thus, reduces rudder movements. Additionally, the Course Control mode guides the ship over the shortest distance with low rudder angles.
