Integrated Bridge Systems

Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS) are advanced computer-based networks on ships that unify navigation, communication, and control functions into a single interface. They combine radar, GPS, autopilot, and other equipment to enhance situational awareness, improve safety, and streamline operations. By integrating these tools, crew members can access real-time data more efficiently, make better decisions, and respond quickly to changing conditions. IBS increases efficiency and safety on ships by reducing manual inputs and minimizing errors, ultimately helping the vessel navigate more effectively and securely.
