Follow-Up for smaller boats
It was time for the experience gained on the Follow-Up system for large and mega yachts to be put at the service of a product for smaller boats — versatile, practical to install, affordable and reliable. The team responded with enthusiasm and the product reached the market in just two months.
Full Follow-Up
After about a decade of refining the Follow-Up electric system in parallel with the hydraulic one, working with established partners we developed the Full Follow-Up — a system that made us known in onboard automation, providing interface systems for Dynamic Positioning on offshore service vessels.
Tactile Feedback
Our technical office developed what is, for us, the flagship: Tactile Feedback, the first dedicated steering system for sailing yachts — born and tested on our internal benches with bold partners. It lets a large sailing ship be steered with the feel of the load on the wheel: the helmsman is no longer a motor-yacht commander but a true skipper, trimming sails and course by the force felt in the arm — a force that is adjustable and adaptable to the skipper’s preference.
Certification
The company obtains certification from the Russian River Register, the first step of an internationalisation path that would bring further approvals and access to regulated markets.
Seipem
Marsili Aldo & C. S.r.l. — already established in marine, ships, passenger boats, work boats and military sectors up to 100–120 m — acquires the historic SEIPEM brand (over 40 years in the marine industry), broadening the product range. Production of SEIPEM flaps and cylinders is carried out in Civitanova Marche using stainless steel and Peraluman.
The same year brings certification from the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, alongside that obtained in 2011 from the Russian River Register. Certifications enable the commissioning of a new test bench for steering gear up to 20,000 kgm.
Reference list
These operations gave fresh impetus to a company that, still today, combines reliability of systems and innovation to meet the challenges of global markets. The reference list includes prestigious names from Italian and international naval entrepreneurship, public and private.
