134 REPORT Pioneering innovation CFR highlights some of the solutions helping improve operations and deliver new services for passenger ship operators VisionMaster Net bridge system Bridge design and layout is subject to strict regulation and the equipment required accounts for more space than the display consoles with which navigators interact. To help meet these requirements, Sperry Marine makes its bridge system as compact and networked as possible, with features focused on delivering a safe user experience. The VisionMaster Net bridge system features large flat panel screens but fewer console cabinets, a layout that allows for greater efficiency. Using a single ethernet ring, the bridge provides an optimised working environment for navigators to work in and equipment to remotely access views of critical screens such as radar and an electronic chart display and information system.
