our latest systems increases the wheelhouse and console design possibilities, to furnish a bridge with screen-based instruments and gauges that all have the same look, using the same colour palette. For larger yachts, Kongsberg offer bridge alert/alarm systems, radar/ecdis, autopilot, dynamic positioning, automation and auxiliaries (like wipers, horn, lanterns etc) controlled from a multifunctional touchscreen operator panel, furnished either within the console itself, in an armrest, or on a floating pedestal.”


It is often the case that bridge system developers, software designers and consultants prefer to partner with hardware manufacturers who already have the kind of high level, precision-engineering experience


and significant resource required for manufacturing displays and screens. These manufacturers will often have worked not just from within marine markets, but in avionics and aerospace industries as well.

A completely custom-made solution with all the elegance of Italian design and robustness of class approved deployments, where we can help make the bridge a fully functional and redundant showpiece for discriminating owners.”
