System functions K-Bridge AP - Track control Based on a validated route plan, the track control steers the ship along the route, on straight courses and on radius turns from one course to another, according to the accuracy of the positioning system. It provides automatic position information both for own ship and traffic using our multi-function radar and electronic chart display that features both grounding and collision avoidance functions. When DP is part of the solution, zero crab angle track control using side thruster assistance can be performed below normal manoeuvring speed....

Integrated Vessel Management Seamless integration The Integrated Vessel Management concept supports seamless integration of all vessel control systems. Bridge systems, that is navigation, manoeuvring, propulsion and thruster controls, are linked to machinery and cargo automation and safety systems by means of system-wide communication highway. The system-wide communication network enables free flow of information within the Integrated Vessel Management System. All operator stations, controllers and interface units are linked together via the redundant communication network. In order to...
