Unified Bridge-1

The logical and flexible solution The future of ship operation work stations Ergonomically placed controls. Operators can always find a comfortable and commanding position – seated or standing. Chart displays and planning stations can be built in as required. Modular construction allows custom solutions. Single or multiple operator stations for navigation, deck operations or machinery control. The key to human-centred bridge layout. The new Rolls-Royce concept for ship operation work stations covers all types of work station – navigation, manoeuvring, dynamic positioning, anchor and deck operations and machinery control. Stations are built up from modules and a range of standardised components into systems meeting the shipowner’s requirements and preferences. Functions include operation planning, execution and monitoring, based on clearly presented information. The human-machine interface is based on an extensive study of requirements. Crews differ in height, arm reach and other parameters, so the system allows the operator to find a comfortable position, sitting or standing as needed, with controls ergonomically placed and necessary information presented on touch screens. Consistency in command transfer, system operation and alarm handling enhances operational safety. For more information, please contact your nearest Rolls-Royce service centre.
