The control head is also suitable for retrofit projects on existing ships and integration into modern new-builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Simrad AP70 Mk2 supports common rudder and drive types, including water jets, azimuth pods, Voith-Schneider drives, rudders, and outboards. It provides integration for up to six rudders or thrusters, including dual-rudder and fore-and-aft thruster configurations. No Drift steering uses GPS position data to help counteract wind and tide while maintaining a straight track over ground, while navigation steering supports route following from a Simrad multifunction display, Simrad ECDIS, or third-party MFD or ECDIS. Command transfer and multiple control station support enable flexible control arrangements across bridge wing, above-deck, aft-bridge, or secondary controller locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheelmarked for use on SOLAS vessels\u003c\/strong\u003e, the AP70 Mk2 continues the Simrad Pro autopilot portfolio for applications ranging from small workboats to large tankers.
