Marine automation is anything that simplifies operational activities on a ship. Not confined to auto-pilot systems, marine automation can also take the form of a CCTV network transmitting Images to the bridge, or perhaps temperature regulation on a reefer (perishable food container) vessel, to give but two examples.

Britannia Marine has implemented various marine automation systems for several high profile clients in recent years, saving them vast amounts of man hours (i.e. monitoring/maintenance) whilst drastically improving safety – all the more important in today's stringently monitored marine industry.
