On conventional bridges many single units were connected through multiple cables and interfaces. Such an unclear data distribution has turned out to be a risk. Further, the overflow of inconsistent information as well as superfluous alarms generated by single units further hamper safe decision making and foster stress on the bridge. On the modern bridge the single navigation devices transform into network participants and the integration of data creates many new useful functions. This also has benefits when it comes to functional upgrades or refits. Modern superyacht bridge systems also ensure an entirely consistent use, designation and presentation of sensor data and targets throughout the system - which is significantly different from the »console thinking« in the past. At the same time, the bridge features an intelligent, central handling of any alerts arising. The crew can handle any task or attend to any situation from any multifunctional display. In other words: The navigator interacts with a single system only, what is a strong contribution to a much-improved situational awareness and reduction of stress.
