Autopilot

Autopilot

Sharing the same software and hardware platforms, the Bridge Mate Autopilot can be fully integrated with all other Bridge Mate systems with no additional hardware required. Track-control-steering-approved when integrated with Marine Technologies’ conning display and ECDIS, the Bridge Mate Autopilot is Wheel Mark approved according to the latest requirements.

ECDIS

ECDIS

The Bridge Mate Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is an integrated information system that displays a vast array of navigation information utilizing electronic charts. Designed with the vessel operator in mind, ECDIS is a vital resource for efficient route planning and monitoring. Incorporating user-friendly functions, MT's ECDIS provides precise vessel position data, optimizing navigation, safety, and fuel consumption.

C-Link

C-Link

The C-Link 15 family of wireless radios is designed for medium-range applications, linking together a cluster of vessels, platforms and/or barges in a shared maritime or combined maritime/shore-side network constellation. The design of the network can be customized, from a simple wireless network with every wireless access point acting as a port on a network switch to more advanced MPLS networks with multiple ISPs added into the network.

Integrated Bridge System

Integrated Bridge System

The Bridge Mate Integrated Bridge System (IBS) concept is based on segregated architecture comprising a dual redundant network, flexible console and monitor solutions, and extremely durable marine-approved computers without fans or hard disks. All applications, such as ARPA radar, ECDIS, conning, cameras, sensor control, and monitoring, are readily available on any multi-function workstation.

Condition-Monitoring Website

Condition Monitoring

The Condition Monitoring System is built on years of experience in maritime operations. The system is capable of continuously monitoring a variety of variables on board a vessel — vibration, ultrasonic sound and vibration, oil monitoring, engine-bearing monitoring (thermo voltage), engine-oil mist, engine splash oil, shaft power/torque, pressure, temperatures, flow and more. All systems can be delivered separately or integrated as one system. All systems can be retrofitted without major impacts on machinery. LEARN MORE >>

Fuel and Emissions Monitoring

Fuel and Emissions Monitoring

The COBRAS Fuel Advisory System helps to reduce a vessel's fuel usage and emissions. The system calculates optimal speed, trim, and draft for a planned route. A live view/display is available on the bridge while the vessel is underway, and voyage reports are generated on actual usage and savings. The system can be retrofitted to any existing fuel meter/signal or delivered together with fuel meters from Marine Technologies.

COBRAS Machine-Learning System

COBRAS Machine-Learning System

The COBRAS system is a machine-learning system that can be used as a conditional risk-assessment system or for the general monitoring of sensors and signals. The system has a variation of areas it can be used for, including condition monitoring alarms and trending, collision avoidance of vessels, fuel monitoring, and vessel-operation readiness.

Introducing Zeam

The World's First Electric Self-Driving Ferry is Coming to Stockholm!

We're thrilled to announce that we have played a crucial role in bringing Zeam, an electric self-driving ferry set to revolutionize public transport, to life in Stockholm starting June 2023. Marine Technologies has proudly supplied the steering system, camera surveillance, and remote control for this groundbreaking project.

Zeam, short for Zero Emission Autonomous Mobility, is a collaboration between Norwegian shipping company Torghatten AS and research center Zeabuz at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. This innovative watercraft will transport passengers between Kungsholmen and Södermalm, providing an eco-friendly and efficient travel option with a perfect visibility day and night.

The cutting-edge technology, including radar, lidar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, AI, and GPS, allows the ferry to navigate safely through the water, making smart decisions and ensuring smooth docking sequences. A security operator will also be on board at all times to monitor the system and take over manual driving if necessary.

OCEAN INTERVENTION III Receives Bridge Upgrade from MT

MT performed a facelift on the bridge of the 2005 297′ MSV OCEAN INTERVENTION III by upgrading the dynamic positioning system and swapping the old thruster control system with a new Bridge Mate TCS. The navigation bridge, consisting of an autopilot, ECDIS, and radar from various vendors, was replaced with a new MT Bridge Mate Integrated Bridge System (IBS) with multi-function touch monitors and MT overhead instruments and indicators.

Marine Technologies' integrated solutions make it possible to replace a significant amount of hardware with the use of modern touch HMI. All monitors are multifunctional and act as backup for each other. The MT Autopilot can be controlled by a dedicated operator panel, but it can also be operated from the MFW in front.

Not only did this upgrade modernize and simplify the bridge environment, it was also less costly than replacing each system individually. In addition, MT is now the single point of contact for service.

Building a fleet of robotic ships

MT Selected as Supplier for Fleet of 78-meter Armada robotic-ships

Ocean Infinity's fleet of innovative, low-emission ships is set to revolutionize the way we conduct business at sea. A major milestone has been achieved with the launch of the first ship and the start of sea trials.

Marine Technologies is honored to have been selected as the supplier of dynamic positioning, integrated bridge solutions, thruster controls, communications packages, and full sensor packages, including radar and gyros for this project.

In this video, Ocean Infinity's technology experts discuss how these ships will reduce environmental impacts and improve safety at sea for the maritime industry. It also covers the testing and commissioning already underway and what lies ahead. The ships were designed and built by VARD.

Marine Technologies' goal is to spearhead the development of the building blocks for the era of autonomous shipping. The Armada project is a strategic and important step where MT has overcome many new challenges, moving the boundaries to what can be achieved through collaboration.

Are you ready for the unmanned future?

MT Introduces Remote Control at your fingertips with MT Remote Control and C-Link

The world's first autonomous passenger ferry, developed in Trondheim, Norway, by NTNU, is in operation. By replacing expensive bridge and tunnel solutions, the technology can revolutionize urban public transportation.

MT Remote Control ensures safe and effective control of a ship's steering system, controlling vessels remotely from a workboat deck or as a backup control system for autonomous ferries. With MT Remote Control you can control multiple drones from a mothership. In combination with the C-Link 2-360, it has a range of 5 km.

MT's family of C-Link 15 wireless radios are designed for medium-range network constellations that link together a cluster of vessels, platforms and/or barges in a shared maritime or combined maritime/shore-side network. C-Link is certified and approved for real-time control systems.

Years ago, people were rowed from one place to another by raftsmen in cities such as Trondheim and Bergen, Norway. They served as the waterways' taxi drivers. Thanks to a forward-looking and innovative approach, water transport has once again become available in Trondheim, Norway.

MilliAmpere 2 has been running shuttle traffic across the channel in Trondheim since October. The new technology was available for anyone to test during the trial run, and researchers mapped the public's experiences.

NTNU Trondheim has developed the world's heaviest and largest professional environment in this niche through extensive investments in research and testing with business partners. This project is very important to Marine Technologies, and we are proud to be a part of it.
