Unique. Better efficiency with Anschütz autopilots as they combine various functions that reduce fuel consumption and emissions – on average by 2% to 6% – helping to significantly improve the carbon intensity indicator (CII) of your vessel.
For over 100 years,Anschütz has stood for safe, advanced navigation systems and reliable customer service.
Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS) typically include workstations for ECDIS, radar and conning. Anschütz IBS for merchant ships are based on scalable, multifunctional workstations instead. The workstations are easy to integrate by using standardised marine hardware and network components with less cabling and easier configuration compared to conventional systems.
These workstations provide a smart integration of functions and validated, consistent information at any workplace. Navigators get a clear picture of the prevalent situation of the vessel. Benefit: more attention on critical situations, better decision-making and less risk for human error.
Sustainable and secure. All software applications are continuously maintained, ensuring strict compliance with all relevant IMO and classification society regulations today and tomorrow. This includes current cyber security standards and recommendations to maintain the integrity of the bridge systems.

Get rid of paper stacks and the associated workload and benefit from highly accurate data. Use your ship’s data more easily in combination with other digital platforms to optimise efficiency and operational and logistical processes.
Anschütz offers ECDIS in various solutions, from an easy-to-operate ECDIS in a plug-&-play package for efficient and fast refits to a sophisticated system solution with comprehensive functions for voyage management to, as part of an Anschütz bridge system, a highly precise yet economic track control.
The electronic logbook is the next step in bridge digitalisation and leads the way towards paperless bridge operations. As successor to the classic paper logbook, the electronic logbook provides ship navigation, manoeuvring and command evidence in a digital format. It is easy to use, tamper-proof, makes reporting much easier and it is the single reliable source of onboard data that can be connected with other platforms at shore.
Anschütz has equipped tens of thousands of merchant ships with reliable and safe navigation systems. It doesn't matter whether it's a new build or a refit.
Our focus: quality, a clear overview and safe operation – even in situations when time is crucial. Customers appreciate our flexibility and commitment in terms of function, quality, delivery time and budget.
The Anschütz Group and our worldwide network of sales and service partners ensure a qualified customer service and immediate spare part supply along all important trade routes while being backed by a digital support infrastructure. Our customers stay on schedule without any trouble with admin workloads ashore and port state control, and can rely on safe navigation wherever they sail.
