KoNCSBERC System Philosophy Cruise Vessel Management System The KONCSBERC system philosophy is to provide sophisticated, robust and reliable subsystems and assemblages of them in networks that fuse leading edge and proven technologies. Consequently, research and development are continual, and product reliability, maintainability and supportability are unremitting quests. The synergy of approaches results in designs and implementations that are at once proven and at the vanguard of maritime technology. Robust solutions KONCSBERC system philosophy relies on a distributed and open system...

In concert, KONGSBERG navigation, manoeuvring and automation subsystems enhance and ease the operation and navigation of cruise vessels. The ultimate is attained when the subsystems work together in an integrated control system that includes a fully backed-up, system-wide communication network. All major system components such as the communication networks, process controllers, work stations and power supplies are duplicated to ensure maximum uptime. Essential components such as network switches and process controllers may even be located in different fire zones. Free flow of information...

The K-Safe safety management and decision support solution com- prises a computerized safety desk approach, with electronic plotting tool. This unique approach enables efficient resource allocation in emer- gency situations, crowd manage- ment, and emergency shut down. bridge systems has clear demands for consistent information across all systems on the bridge. K-Bridge meets these standards by allowing own-ship data, e.g. system internal heading, speed, position and drift all sub-systems, in order to avoid inconsistent presentation. Unsurpassed manoeuvre capabilities K-POS joystick and...

Integrated navigation The next level in ship handling The feel aboard a KONGSBERG designed bridge is that of a cockpit, where the officers are comfortably seated with information and controls at their fingertips. Designed for easy operation, our bridge designs allow maximum time for observation and decision making and thereby increase the situational awareness.

Integrated navigation and traffic surveillance Consistent information and intuitive presentation is crucial. The K-Bridge integrated navigation system utilizes a dual redundant controller and interface unit to collect data from all sensors such as gyros, position sensors, speed logs and weather sensors. The data is processed and alarms are given if inconsistency occurs. The processed own ship data (e.g. filtered heading, speed and position) is distrib- uted to multifunctional operator stations. Thus, a true distributed system approach, which provides for compliance with IMO guidelines for...

Propulsion and thruster control Integrated manoeuvring The K-Thrust propulsion and thruster control provides manual remote control of electric main propulsion, thrusters and steering gears. When combined with the capabilities of K-Pos dynamic positioning, K-Thrust becomes a maneuvering system with a complete range of ship-handling function modes: ■ Non-follow up by tiller or pushbuttons ■ Follow-up by levers or steering-wheel ■ Autopiloting, track-pilot and speed-pilot With KONCSBERC System Philosophy at the core, K-Thrust is fully compatible with the K-Bridge integrated navigation, K-Chief...

Advanced manoeuvring and positioning In command - Integrated manoeuvering The unique integrated manoeuvring concept, rendered by the common technology in the K-Thrust propulsion, rudder and thrusters control system, the K-Bridge navi- gation system and the K-Pos dynamic positioning system, ensures efficient ship handling and operator supervision in all manoeuvring phases. Operational modes range from hands on individual lever commands, via synchro- nous use of thrusters and propulsion by joystick, to automatic track- and speed pilot, to fully automatic station keeping. Joystick mode The...

Track control The autopilot is integrated in the redundant controller, and operated from the operator stations. The autopilot has a standard heading mode, curved headline mode, automatic track-keeping mode, and when integrated with dynamic positioning the track lines can be run with no crab angle (drift compensated) or with a pre-set crab angle. The zero crab angle control, using side thrusters assist can be performed below normal manoeuvring speed, eases manoeuvring in confined waters. Automatic set-up of vessel operational mode A system-wide vessel mode control application allows for...

Machinery automation Watch-keeping of machinery plant K-CHIEF machinery automation system provides full control of all the machineries. From multifunctional operator stations in the engine control room the engineer on watch has excellent overview of the power plant, propulsion machinery and other machinery systems. Operator stations for monitoring as well as limited operations are available in wheel house and safety centre, and portable units may be used in engine rooms for troubleshooting purposes. Safe and reliable power generation The power generation and distribution plant is controlled...
