Easy Operation

Our Integrated Bridge System is designed for easy operation to allow maximum time for observation and decision making. This is particularly apparent in our ARPA/radar and ECDIS systems. These systems have the same intuitive user interface, the same panel layout and menu system. Route plans, mariner’s notes, charts, radar video and vector presentation are shared between the systems and ensuring consistency of information through the Bridge System.

Network Sensor Integration

Total network sensor integration delivers enhanced situational awareness to the mariner. An uncomplicated display presentation simplifies and streamlines navigational tasks. Common responsibilities such as route planning, navigation status monitoring, log-keeping, alarm awareness and day-to-day chart management are made easy through common workstation layout.

Reliability is further enhanced through redundancy of display and controls. Watch keepers will enjoy reduced workload and significant freedom to move about the bridge, with all necessary information available in a variety of displays and locations.
