What is IBS?

An integrated bridge system (IBS) is defined as a combination of systems which are interconnected in order to allow centralized access to sensor information or command/control from workstations, with the aim of increasing safe and efficient ship's management by suitably qualified personnel.

What is IBS?

6

Integrated Bridge System• All instruments interact in a network

• Many procedures are automated

> centralised display of results

> centralised alarm monitoring

• Reduced workload and stress

• Improved precision, performance and

efficiency

• Decision making is easier

Traditional Bridge SystemAll instruments are stand alone systems

• Navigator interacts with every component

> Continuously checking all data himself

> Controlling everything manually

• High workload and stress

• Limited precision and efficiency

The Royal Majesty

9/20/2012 15

Current Approach of IBS

� Input of Met-ocean data into IBS (Weather routing)– Improve fuel efficiency– Provide more accurate information on ETA’s etc.

� Remote diagnostics– Reduction of Agents and Service Centres– Improvement in response times– 24/7/365 even at sea.

9/20/2012 16

The Future of IBS

� Head- Up Displays (HUD)� IBS accreditation with approved and compulsory training

programmes
