Furuno Deutschland is pleased to announce its participation at SMM 2026, the world’s leading maritime industry event, where it will present its latest advancements in marine electronics and solutions. Visitors can find Furuno in Hall B6, Stand 100.
Furuno will showcase its comprehensive range of maritime solutions, including navigation and maneuvering systems, cybersecurity platforms, voyage planning tools, GNSS positioning and timing solutions, electronic record books, vessel control systems, UHF radio communication, and integrated bridge solutions, alongside its global training programs. These innovations reflect Furuno’s dedication to safety, efficiency, and operational excellence in the maritime industry.
The system uses AR technology to superimpose navigational information on images captured by a camera mounted in front of the vessel.
Even in adverse weather conditions or at night, the display shows the ship's route and information on other vessels, making navigation much peaceful, safe, and comfortable.
It offers 24/7 remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, instant troubleshooting, and secure data transmission to shore, ensuring compliance with stringent maritime cybersecurity standards like IACS UR E26/E27.
HermAce integrates seamlessly with Furuno’s maritime systems (ECDIS, radar, VDR, AIS, GNSS, etc.), enabling remote software updates, automated compliance checks, and efficient voyage optimization, all while reducing operational costs and enhancing fleet-wide security and efficiency.
These solutions provide real-time interference detection, automatic anomaly alerts, and multi-constellation support (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou) to ensure precise positioning even in challenging environments.
Designed for seamless integration with existing systems, they enhance operational efficiency and compliance with maritime regulations, making them ideal for SOLAS vessels and other critical applications.
The VR Navigation System utilizes our unique virtual technology that provides the user with an overhead bird/third person view of their own vessel in 3D for maximum situational awareness around the vessel and safe navigation.
This view mode overlays essential information such as chart information, Radar data, AIS and risk of collision areas. It is a perfect support tool for safe route planning and collision avoidance, particularly in busy areas where dozens of vessels enter and leave ports at the same time.
The system supports radar and AIS target overlays, weather data integration, and real-time sensor data visualization, enabling optimized route planning, speed calculations, and voyage log recording. It also allows for centralized document management and schedule tracking, ensuring streamlined operations and improved decision-making for maritime professionals.
With easy intuitive user interface and proven reliability, the Smart Bridge NXT consolidates essential information from radar, ECDIS, Chart plotters, sonars, CCTV, alarm systems and much more into one efficient, adaptable platform. Empowering captains and crew with a scalable, user-centric solution.

Furuno is planning to introduce an Iridium GMDSS terminal for Iridium Certus® 100, supporting both newbuild and retrofit vessels. The terminal delivers reliable global maritime safety communications, including coverage in polar regions.
Key Features
• Distress Alerting
• Safety Voice Communication
• Safety Cast Service (MSI, NAVAREA & METAREA)
• 100% Global Coverage, including Sea Area A4 and polar regions.
The Maneuvering Support System supports decision-making by presenting collision avoidance routes, while the Global Ocean Forecast Data Service provides high-resolution and high-accuracy forecast data.
A standout is AnchorPilot, an intuitive "StayPut" solution for station-keeping without anchoring, integrated into the EMRI Pilot platform and operable via an armrest or joystick tiller, allowing automatic wind alignment or manual heading adjustments—no DP operator certificate required.
Additionally, EMRI will showcase its AutoPilot with Bow Thruster Heading Control (for 2–5 knot operations) and its established Joystick Dynamic Positioning (JS/DP), Steering, and Control Systems, all designed to simplify vessel maneuvering and improve operational performance.
Type-approved by DNV in accordance with ISO 21745, TELSCOPE organizes data in a structured, paperless format, making it ready for analysis and ensuring approved entries are accessible to shore personnel.
With features like one-touch access, real-time updates, and digital checklists, it enhances efficiency, reduces administrative burdens, and supports future e-navigation services.
metalVox® is a next-generation onboard UHF communication system, utilizing proprietary metalWave™ technology to enable reliable onboard communication. Unlike conventional repeater-based systems that rely on RF signal propagation through free space, metalVox uses the vessel's steel hull surface as the transmission medium for RF signals.
This unique operating principle significantly reduces the number of antennas and RF cabling required while providing stable communication coverage throughout the vessel. The latest metalVox Station II further enhances communication quality with improved voice quality, lower latency, and greater system stability based on extensive operational feedback from commercial vessels.
The system supports flexible configurations for different vessel types while simplifying installation and reducing maintenance requirements. By combining innovative metalWave™ technology with FURUNO's communication expertise, metalVox delivers dependable voice communication across accommodation areas, machinery spaces, and other operational zones, helping shipowners improve crew safety, operational efficiency, and lifecycle maintenance costs.
With a global service network, Furuno remains the most reliable partner for the shipping industry. Visit Stand 100 to explore these innovations.
