Increased Safety &

Reduced Cost

Meeting the two goals of today's bridge integration!

Increased Safety

Eighty percent of vessel groundings can be avoided by improving navigation information, monitoring the vessel's advance and increasing the watch officer's effective conning time. This fact is the driving force behind Sperry Marine's integrated bridge design.

Our bridge design increases the watch officer's effective conning time by automating appropriate bridge tasks, enhances navigation information and control by fusing important data and control functions into centralized work stations and monitors the vessel's advance, alerting the watch officer to off-track conditions and approach to hazardous waters. The result is a substantial improvement in navigation safety.

Reduced Cost

Increased navigation safety means greater operating flexibility and reduced operating costs. By supporting minimum manning levels (DnV W-1, Lloyds LNC, ABS) and bolstering fuel savings, Sperry Marine's Integrated

Bridge brings strong economic benefits to owner and operator.

Shipbuilders save on construction costs with Sperry

Marine's turnkey integration approach and drop-in bridge modules.

The Sperry Marine Integrated Bridge is a proven system, installed on over 100 vessels including tankers, container ships, cruise ships, ferries, high speed craft, research vessels, private yachts and naval vessels.
