The speed of the marine engine is controlled by an instrument known as speed governor, which can be of – hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electronic governor type.
The most famous types of speed governor system used for both main engine and generator engine is the electro-hydraulic type marine governors. It’s because of this little instrument that the engine speed can be smoothly controlled from a remote space (bridge or engine control room).

The different components of a governor allow for a steady-state speed control, along with achieving the required variation in the load.
