Integrated Bridge System for High-Speed Vessels

Abstract An integrated bridge system, by its control and information concept resembling an aircraft pilot-cabin known as the cockpit, has been developed for high-speed vessels. Some of the world well-known companies have accordingly developed the systems designed for modern high-speed vessels termed the ship cockpit. The ship cockpit system, particularly regarding its safety, efficiency and economy for similar vessels converted to cany passengers and vehicles between the Croatian mainland and its islands, has been thoroughly analysed in this paper The applications of this system, its basic features, its employment in navigation and the equipment arrangement on the bridge have also been discussed.
