Furuno Italia announces the launch of INS Voyager Bridge, a new mega yacht bridge system created in collaboration with the German company BÖNING, which combines the experience of FURUNO in navigation and communication systems for IMO vessels and the powerful BÖNING ship automation systems. The INS Voyager System includes the last generation of FURUNO navigation wheelmarks approved systems such as chart radars (X and S band), ECDIS, navigation echosounder, GPS and D-GPS, doppler speed log, AIS, BNWAS, autopilot, gyrocompass and various sensors. The new TimeZero MaxSea navigation software can also be added to the bridge together with other important safety devices like FURUNO and WASSP multibeam sonars. This new mega yacht bridge system integrates all the BÖNING automation information. All the main controls are available in the helm panel and in the touch screen panel monitors controllers. The design of the bridge is ergonomic and it has been created to guarantee a very easy control to the captain and a safe navigation. The new INS Voyager Bridge includes the Universal Control Concept features, allowing the captain to control the navigation devices and the monitoring pages from the same trackball control unit. The FURUNO radar and ECDIS control keyboards are also available in the touch screen panels. The communication devices, like VHF radiotelephone, can also be controlled directly from touch screen panels.
