Our mission and philosophy
Our mission
We shall earn the respect and recognition for our dedication to
provide innovative and reliable marine and offshore electronics
that ensures optimal operation. By utilizing and integration
our technology, experience and competencies in positioning,
hydroacoustics, communication, control, navigation, simula-
tion, and automation, we aim to give our customers The Full
Picture. The Full Picture yields professional solutions and glo-
bal services that make a difference enabling you to stay ahead
of the competition.
Our philosophy
Our success depends on the success of our customers. Actively
listening to our customers and truly understanding their needs,
and then translating these needs into successful products and
solutions is central to achieving our goal.
Our people are the key to our success and we empower them
to achieve. Working together in a global network of knowl-
edge, guided by our values, engenders innovation and world
class performance. Every day we have to think a little differ-
ently, because every client is unique.
We aspire to translate the imagination and dedication of our
staff into successful technologies and solutions. Our commit-
ment is to add value to your operations by providing you with
The Full Picture.
Maximizing performance
by providing The Full Picture
Safety in operation
The K-Safe safety management and
decision support solution com-
prises a computerized safety desk
approach, with electronic plotting
tool. This unique approach enables
effcient resource allocation in emer-
gency situations, crowd manage-
ment, and emergency shut down.
On track
The new IMO standard for integrated
bridge systems has clear demands
for consistent information across
all systems on the bridge. K-Bridge
meets these standards by allowing
own-ship data, e.g. system internal
heading, speed, position and drift
to be calculated and distributed to
all sub-systems, in order to avoid
inconsistent presentation.
Unsurpassed manoeuvre capabilities
K-POS joystick and dynamic posi-
tioning is designed to suit the opera-
tional requirements of cruise liners.
Keeping the vessel within specifed
position and heading limits, provides
unmatched station keeping or chain-
less anchoring. K-Thrust propulsion
and thruster control system, enable
safe manoeuvre in confned waters.
Integrated navigation
The next level in ship handling
The feel aboard a Kongsberg designed bridge is that of a cockpit, where the officers
are comfortably seated with information and controls at their fingertips. Designed
for easy operation, our bridge designs allow maximum time for observation and
decision making and thereby increase the situational awareness.
In control of HVAC
From the dedicated HVAC operator
station(s) in engine control room the
AC engineer gains complete overview
of the plant status as well as all de-
tails on AC units, room temperatures
and chilled water compressors. Dur-
ing night time the watch responsibil-
ity is transferred to the multifunc-
tional machinery operator stations
where the engineer on duty monitors
malfunction of the HVAC plant.
Modular, scalable and powerful
Kongsberg system philosophy relies on a dis-
tributed and open system design that employs
a system-wide standardized communication
network. The hart of the system is our family of
remote processing units (RCU) powerful real
time processing units.
The processing unit handles the fastest control
and processing applications, while the distributed
remote I/O modules (RIO) provide signal connec
tion between the feld devices and the automa-
tion system.
Systems may easily be extended by adding
hardware units. Similar, control applications is
built by software algorithms, function blocks that
represents single feld elements, e.g. instruments,
motors and valves. Hence, to add new sensors,
simply pick a new function block from the embed-
ded confguration system, make the connection
to an I/O module and you are all set.
Safety system
Situation awareness in crisis
Safety of passengers, crew and vessel is the crucial task for the master and the safety
teams. The K-Safe safety management system assists the officers during an emer-
gency by presenting the essential safety information on screens in safety centre,
navigation bridge and engine control room. The information may also be made avail-
able in shore control rooms for expert help and follow up.
Computerized safety desk approach
Safety information related to fire and water integrity are overlaid on the vessel
GA/safety plan and presented in a clear and structured way. Such information is
fire alarms, fire doors and dampers, fire extinguishing systems and ventilation status.
Status of water tight doors, shell doors, flooding sensors, void space monitoring
and stability condition provides information in the event of hull damage. Static
information from the safety plan such as life saving apparatus, emergency escape
routes, high voltage equipment and cables may be displayed on request.
The Electronic Plotting Aid follows the deployment of fire and rescue teams and
other safety personnel. The tool may also be used to indicate compartments with
dangerous equipment, cabins with special need passengers etc.
In order to perform realistic safety drills a simulator tool is included. Various
realistic scenarios are included and may be further developed by the crew. During
training all embedded tools in the Safety Management System is utilised.
