Tresco TrackPilot
Track-keeping and assisted sailing: a much-discussed topic in inland shipping. Tresco turns theory into practice. Today, in 2026, more than 1,000 users sail with the Tresco TrackPilot and SmartTracks on Europe's waterways — and more are added almost daily. How it works: the pilot follows a track in Navigis. Enter a track yourself, or select a vessel via AIS that the system follows automatically. With SmartTracks you simply enter a destination and our software calculates the ideal route, accounting for water levels too. The results are measurable. On the river Rhine, the TrackPilot delivered fuel savings of up to 4.4% on a six-hour trip, and over 15% in sharp bends upstream at full load — thanks to up to four steering corrections per second: less rudder movement, less resistance, lower consumption. Curious how much you could save? Visit our stand and we'll calculate it together, based on your own sailing profile.
Navigis River: a trusted standard on board
For years, Navigis River has been the inland skipper's core package — on board thousands of new and existing vessels. The reason? The simplicity and ease of use of this detailed navigation technology. Using GPS, your vessel appears in a fixed position on the chart while the chart scrolls beneath it, just like a radar image. With a single mouse click you see everything you need: course, speed, VHF channels and more, each in its own window. Thanks to the RIS connection, real-time water levels and traffic messages are processed automatically into the chart, and AIS shows the vessels around you. If you want more realism, switch to the 3D chart view with a single click: a true-to-life representation in which nearby objects stand out more clearly than those in the distance. And it's internationally certified: Navigis is developed according to the latest Inland ECDIS standard of the Rhine and Danube commissions. This makes Tresco the first company in the world to offer ECDIS-certified navigation systems for both inland and maritime shipping.
The Tresco ecosystem: from navigation to fleet management
The standard in inland shipping — and the foundation of one ecosystem For years, Navigis River has been the inland skipper's core package. The reason? The simplicity and ease of use of this detailed navigation technology. But Navigis is more than navigation alone: it's the starting point of the complete Tresco ecosystem, connecting the wheelhouse with the office ashore. From vessel to fleet, all on one familiar interface. Thanks to its many add-on options, Navigis grows from a navigation programme into an all-inclusive navigation manager — and step by step into a complete management platform: ° Tresco TrackPilot — steering support that keeps your vessel precisely on course and saves fuel ° Tresco RadarLink — your radar image and chart system in one, operated with a single mouse or trackball ° Navigation Manager — everything for preparing and reporting your voyage: ° Voyage Plan ° Voyage Reporting ° eReporting ° Tresco Fleet — the fleet-management platform that connects ship and shore, with a mobile app, a fuel and emissions profile per vessel or voyage, and integration with BICS and Green Award ° Fleet Cruise — fleet management tailored to the passenger-vessel sector, with geofencing for per-country distance logging and automated tax reporting One ecosystem, built around the software thousands of skippers trust every day — growing with you, from a single vessel to an entire fleet.
Tresco Fleet & Fleet Cruise: from wheelhouse to office
Tresco Fleet is the fleet-management platform that connects the wheelhouse with the office ashore. Fleet managers and planners see in real time where every vessel is and what its status is — without any extra work for the captain. New this year is the fuel and emissions profile, giving you insight into fuel consumption and emissions per vessel, per voyage or per client. With emissions requirements tightening, that's no longer a luxury but a necessity. Tresco Fleet is also integrated with BICS and Green Award: reporting voyages and cargo becomes simpler, and you can effortlessly maintain your sustainability certification towards clients and authorities. The biggest change for the everyday user is the new mobile app. Pre-departure checklists, cargo reporting and submitting voyage plans can now be done straight from your phone. The platform is already in use at 150 inland shipping companies and more than 1,200 vessels — and keeps growing steadily. Fleet Cruise: fleet management for the passenger-vessel sector We developed Fleet Cruise specifically for the river-cruise sector. The module imports itineraries, generates per-country distance logs for VAT reporting and reports port dues automatically. Thanks to geofencing, per-country logging is as accurate as possible, with reporting per voyage or per client. For operators active in several countries, that's a considerable simplification: the new tax reporting features largely automate the per-country fiscal handling — a time-consuming task that until now was often done by hand. Visit us at the stand Fleet operators and managers can see the renewed Fleet platform and the mobile app live in action. And for the passenger-vessel sector, we'll be giving a demonstration of Fleet Cruise. Our team will gladly calculate with you what these developments can mean for your operation.
