Vancouver, BC, Canada Integrated Bridge Welcometo a new age in integrated bridge design. Asany mariner will attest to, the bridge of a vessel is a statement of itsoperational characteristics, be it High Speed Craft, Deep Sea Vessels or Yachts.The operation of a ship and its operational area can constitute vast differencesin bridge design, no longer is it your only option to purchase an off theshelf box and compromise your operational requirements. Wehave brought together the best in the industry, with the ability and experienceto offer you a Custom Designed Integrated Bridge. Ourteam includes Deck Officers, Engineers, Technicians and Design Engineers whohave all experienced the challenges of New Construction and Refits. We will workwith the owner, designer and builder to provide the most ergonomic andoperationally advanced bridge to suit the needs of the crews and therequirements of the governing bodies overseeing the vessel. Wetake bridge design to a new level by reviewing all facets of a ship's operatingcharacteristics, for both navigational crews and engineering crews. The detailed design review includes: Vessel Operation and requirements Crew and manning requirements Classification society and regulatory body requirements Life cycle costs Wewill then offer the necessary equipment and design package to provide the mostergonomic and operationally correct Bridge to suit the needs of the crews andvessel. Wewill bring together: Navigation Systems Radar, ECDIS, Gyro, Auto Pilot, Conning Systems Internal & External Communications Alarm and Monitoring Systems including custom serial links to other vessel systems Propulsion Control Systems, telegraphs, instrumentation and engine safety systems Power management, Motor controls, Tank gauging, Cargo and Ballast Controls Draft & Trim Monitoring Integrated Night Vision and Searchlight Systems PA & General Alarm CCTV & Vessel Video Information Systems Voyage Data Recording Console Design & Ergonomic Studies Remote Monitoring & Service Capabilities Electronic documentation Complete Crew Training Allin a custom package like no other.

All PMC control equipment was pre mounted, pre-piped to numberedbulkhead fittings and pre-wired to terminals relating to drawings for ease of shipyardconnection. Testing of components and systems was performed before shipment to shipyard,and shipboard simulations were performed prior to sea trials. Other areas givenconsideration were environmental influences such as corrosion resistance, excessivevibration, extreme temperatures and component accessibility. The propulsion machinery consists of two 6,000 HP diesel engines, fourclutches, and one 12,000 HP C.P. propeller at each end. This type of machinery arrangement gives greater maneuvering andoperational versatility than conventional systems. Maneuvering with both propellers andrudders enables the ship to turn on its own axis, or move sideways in either direction. During normal cruising both engines are coupled to one propeller; bothpropellers are utilized for operations that require maximum maneuverability. It is well known that there are a number a basic elements in thepropulsion system of a vessel. These elements have been designed, built and proven in thepast by those companies which are expert in their individual fields. It falls upon thecontrol system designer to incorporate all of these individual members so they operate asone integrated system. The importance for the bridge control station to be simple, yet fastenough to be automatic in the mind of the operator, becomes apparent as the various modesof operations are considered. This calls for logic in digital and analog control functions that willsatisfy the propulsion element requirements in such a manner that it will yield maximumversatility, during operation, without jeopardizing reliability. Particular attention was given to the precise power control requirementswhich dictated the necessity of automatic load control with maximum permissible loads,pitch and RPM trims. Automatic load sharing was also incorporated to satisfy the closetolerance required by the two engines sharing a common load. Pictures MV Queen of Alberni truck ferry shown in its original form.

These propulsion control consoles incorporate the ship’s controlsand instrumentation. Two PMC Type PCA-2LA pitch controllers ensure maximum propulsionversatility. The fast stable automatic load control incorporated in the pitch controllermaintains optimum loading on the engines. Special operational modes with dedicated pitchprograms are provided for maneuvering with one or two engines and also operating the firepump driven by the port inboard main engine. For example, the port propeller can be drivenby the outboard engine in variable speed mode, while the fire pump is driven by theinboard engine in constant speed mode. Automatic load sharing is also incorporated tosatisfy the close control tolerance required by two engines driving a single propeller. A PMC mimic panel in the machinery control console displays the statusof machinery for main propulsion, ship’s service and emergency generators,switchboard indication and fire pump operation. The mimic panel includes lightedpushbuttons for main engine start and stop, as well as clutch control. Displays of engineRPM and propeller pitch are also fitted in the mimic. All critical machinery functions are continuously monitored anddisplayed by a PMC Type 8001 alarm annunciator system.A Type 8101 group alarm repeater with serialcommunication to the machinery control room alarm system is provided at the center bridgestation. A PMC Type 8110 tank level monitoring systemcontinuously displays tank level information and provides high and low level alarms aswell as high flow detection. The control transfer system features 3-stage transfer from machinerycontrol room to bridge (Request - Enable - Accept). In an emergency, immediate returntransfer can be undertaken from the machinery control console at any time, causing warningalarms at all bridge stations. The PMC Type 8201 pushbuttonpropulsion telegraph system provides emergency orders between the center bridge stationand the machinery control room or the local at OD box stations. These solid-state,microprocessor based units include the nine standard telegraph orders. They also includefunctions for bridge control and lamp test as well as power failed and wrong directionindicators. An additional feature is a separate and independently operating group oforders for standby, cancel standby and finished with engines. The PMC supplied DHR navigation lights are controlled and monitored inthe bridge by a PMC Type 8010 navigation light controlpanel. This solid state electronic panel continuously monitors the status of the remotenavigation lights when the lights are turned on or off. A visual and audible alarm isactivated if a lamp, fuse or circuit fails. Dual power sources are also monitored andalarmed when either fails. PMC also supplied a Type 8118 digital RPM system which displays shaft and engine RPM on digital meters at the machinerycontrol station and analog meters at the bridge stations. A Type 8502 pitch indicatorsystem also displays propeller pitch at all four stations. PMC’s azimuth control components, Type 5360 azimuth control head and Type 8161 azimuth display meterwere installed in the bridge stations and integrated with the vessel’s bow thrustercontrol system.

The upper bridge and wheelhousewere fitted with flush mounting console plates that contain the propulsion controls,instrumentation and alarms. An enclosure containing the local instrumentation and the PMCalarm annunciator was fitted in the machinery space. The master propulsion control station is located in the wheelhouse. A heart of the propulsion control system is the PMC Type MPC-11 modularpropulsion control panel. The MPC-11 provides an adjustable timed power boost for clutchengagement, controlled acceleration/deceleration of engine speed, and dynamic braking.Dynamic braking uses the engine and propeller to slow the speed of the vessel beforereversal takes place. The PMC supplied instrumentation consists of complete analogengine/gearbox temperature and pressure gauges and digital exhaust temperature gaugeslocated in the wheelhouse. PMC also supplied Type 8118 digital tachometers for shaft andengine speed, located in the upper bridge, wheelhouse, and the local engineroom panel. The PMC alarm system consists of a 32 point Type 8001 machinery alarmpanel located in the machinery space, a 32 point Type 8101 bridge repeater panel locatedin the wheelhouse, and a single point group alarm repeater located in the upper bridge.The alarm system uses two wire communication between the engineroom and the bridge alarmrepeater panel.
