Rolls-Royce Power Systems has expanded its long-standing partnership with Overmarine to include the integration of yacht bridge systems.
The framework agreement runs from 2026 to 2029 and includes the mtu NautIQ Bridge and 64 mtu Series 2000 engines.
Under the existing partnership, almost all Overmarine yachts are powered by mtu engines. The new agreement also marks the introduction of the NautIQ Bridge systems to the Mangusta Oceano 52 yacht range.
Rolls-Royce Power Systems will supply 30 propulsion systems under the contract comprising a total of 64 mtu engines of its 12V 2000 and 16V 2000 types, including two systems with four engines.
The mtu NautIQ Bridge system is a fully integrated product providing intuitive control of the entire yacht from a single source, featuring coordinated hardware and software.
The integrated solution combines the bridge, energy management and propulsion into a seamless system.
Seamless system
“Yacht builders want one thing above all else: a system that simplifies operations on board. Overmarine has relied on our mtu engines for years – and with our approach of viewing the yacht as a seamless system, we are taking the next step together,” said Gianluca Bononi, managing director at Rolls-Royce Power Systems in Italy.
“Close coordination with the Overmarine teams ensures that propulsion, automation and technical design mesh precisely, making the yachts more efficient and comfortable.”
Overmarine CEO Maurizio Balducci, added: “Our Mangusta Oceano models require propulsion systems that run reliably and fit the vessel perfectly. Rolls-Royce Power Systems has been supplying them to us for years.
“With the new framework agreement, control and propulsion are now even more closely integrated – this simplifies construction and enhances comfort for our owners.”
