System's Information
MECI’s stainless steel electric control head connects directly to the engine room control unit with a 8 - 10 conductor cable, forming the backbone of a robust, no-nonsense control system.
At the heart is our main control board, featuring led indicators that deliver instant feedback on system status and diagnostics — no computer required.
Designed for marine professionals who value reliability over complexity — wire up, power up, and get back to work.
Engine Compatibility — One System, Multiple Signal Options
Whether your vessel runs classic air governors or modern PWM frequency controls, MECI systems adapt effortlessly.
Supported signal formats include:
- Air Governor
- 4–20 mA
- 1–5 VDC
- CAT / PWM Frequency
If your configuration doesn’t fit one of these standards, our design team will make it fit. Every vessel is different — our systems are built to match yours.
System Features & Options — Tailored for Your Operation
MECI systems are designed to fit your vessel’s needs. Standard and optional features include:
- Gear Lock-Out – Prevents unwanted shifts during maintenance or engine diag.
- Station Isolate – Enables independent control from a designated station.
- UPS Indicators – Continuous awareness of backup power status.
- Alarm Contacts – Integration into alarm panel with ease.
- 1-5-Station Compatibility – Expandable for additional stations.
- Bypass Functions – Keeps you operational in the event of a fault.
- Remote Station Integration – Flexible layouts for bridge, engine room, or auxiliary control points
Whether you’re running a single tug or a fleet of offshore vessels, MECI systems scale to fit — without compromise.
Beyond Engine Control — Total Vessel Integration
Our controls aren’t limited to propulsion. MECI technology provides control for:
- Bow Thrusters
- Winch Systems

- Auxiliary Machinery
Multiple functions available to control your vessel’s critical systems.
Gear Compatibility — Built to Work With What You Have
MECI systems integrate with nearly any marine gear configuration:
- Air Clutch Systems
- Air-Actuated Hydraulic Gears
- 12 or 24 VDC Gear Controls
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
From legacy air systems to the latest electronic drive packages, we make the connection simple, safe, and reliable.
Main Board Advantages — Precision You Can Feel
Every MECI control board is engineered for smooth performance, reduced wear, and operational safety.
Key features include:
- Adjustable Flash-Reversal Timing – Prevents hard reversals and clutch smoke
- Throttle Lock-Out – Engages throttle only after clutch engagement .
- Adjustable Idle & Boost Settings – Fine-tune for your vessel’s power curve
Every shift, every throttle movement — predictable, smooth, and precise. MECI control logic protects your equipment and keeps your operation on schedule.
⚓ The MECI Difference
At MECI, we don’t just supply control systems — Our solutions are field-proven across tug fleets, workboats, and military vessels worldwide. When uptime, dependability, and serviceability matter most, MECI delivers.
