MPC300

MPC300

Overview

The Cat® MPC300 is the new Propulsion Control System designed
for commercial vessels, super yachts, and governmental applications.
CAT® MPC300's main strength lies in its innovative redundancy design,
seamlessly integrating backup components for all critical system sections.
This makes it the ideal control system for single- and twin-screw propulsion
applications, providing reliable control to the captain in harsh marine
environments. If a system fails, the redundancy system allows the captain to
operate both power trains and safely navigate the vessel back to port.
