Kongsberg System Philosophy

Cruise Vessel Management System
The Kongsberg system philosophy is to provide sophisticated, robust and reliable
subsystems and assemblages of them in networks that fuse leading edge and proven
technologies. Consequently, research and development are continual, and product
reliability, maintainability and supportability are unremitting quests. The synergy of
approaches results in designs and implementations that are at once proven and at
the vanguard of maritime technology.
Robust solutions
Kongsberg system philosophy relies on a distributed and open system design that
employs a system-wide standardized communication network. The network facili-
tates free flow of information from all sub-systems, with vessel-wide information
available on multi-functional workstations. A common base technology and user
interface for all products ensures a safe, efficient, reliable operational environment.
Integration of bridge and machinery controls
Multipurpose work stations
Robust, fault tolerant solutions
Unsurpassed manoeuvre capabilities
Safety in operation
Reduced operational costs
Designed for operation
Decades of real-life operational experience and
knowledge lie behind our designs and thereby
ensure user-friendly functions that ease and
speed operations.
Cutting costs
The K-Chief control system for machinery and
HVAC provides optimum operation of machinery
and thus reduces fuel consumption. The monitor-
ing and trending function provides operators with
a powerful tool for analysis of power consumption
and energy optimization of propulsion and HVAC
plant. The unique GreenDP function signifcantly
reduces fuel consumption and thrusters wear in
electronic anchoring mode.

The full picture

Free fow of information
Fast and reliable data exchange is guaranteed
by the high speed data communication network
- the dual star confguration principle which
is considered as the industry standard for reliable
data communication.
Each autonomous subsystem utilises it's own
dedicated dual network segment. Master switches
are used to interconnect the subsystems allowing
data exchange between the systems, at the same
time providing a safety barrier preventing failures
in one system to spread to another system.
Reliability in operation
In concert, Kongsberg navigation, manoeuvring and automation subsystems
enhance and ease the operation and navigation of cruise vessels. The ultimate
is attained when the subsystems work together in an integrated control system
that includes a fully backed-up, system-wide communication network.
All major system components such as the communication networks, process
controllers, work stations and power supplies are duplicated to ensure maximum
uptime. Essential components such as network switches and process controllers
may even be located in different fire zones.

Multifunctional Operator Stations

Even though operator stations normally have
dedicated functions, such as ARPA, ECDIS,
dynamic positioning, automation or safety, cross-
over information and views are available for the
operators. This reduces the need for dedicated
operator stations in all locations, and enhances
system fexibility. Alarms from any part of the
system are available on all operator stations, using
predefned flters to reduce the information on
screen.

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.

Integrated navigation and traffic surveillance

Consistent information and intuitive presentation is crucial. The K-Bridge integrated
navigation system utilizes a dual redundant controller and interface unit to
collect data from all sensors such as gyros, position sensors, speed logs and weather
sensors. The data is processed and alarms are given if inconsistency occurs.
The processed own ship data (e.g. filtered heading, speed and position) is distrib-
uted to multifunctional operator stations. Thus, a true distributed system approach,
which provides for compliance with IMO guidelines for safe return to port.
Multifunctionality
The multifunctional operator stations can be dedicated to one function, or they
can be configured as multifunctional radar/ARPA, ECDIS and conning stations.
The radar/ARPA has extensive chart functions, and the ECDIS can display radar
video. On multi functional operator stations, even radar video gain and anti-clutter
can be adjusted in ECDIS mode. When integrated in the Cruise Vessel Management
System, multiple views and process information is available from other sub-systems.



Docking assist
A customized docking display is available; integrating chart view with a distance to
quay calculator, own ship data presentation, engine, rudder and thrusters feedback,
with CCTV information on top.
Docking display Chart radar with AIS information
When details count
Design combines art and science, heart and hand.
Distinctively designed, Kongsberg products
and system solutions embody the seaworthi-
ness needed to cope with the uncompromising
conditions of the seven seas and are designed for
fawless operation in accordance with the highest
maritime standards.

Propulsion and thruster control

The K-Bridge steering gear control system is avail-
able for single and dual rudder installations as
well as for azimuth propulsion.
Integrated manoeuvring
The K-Thrust propulsion and thruster control provides manual remote control of
electric main propulsion, thrusters and steering gears. When combined with the
capabilities of K-Pos dynamic positioning, K-Thrust becomes a maneuvering system
with a complete range of ship-handling function modes:
Non-follow up by tiller or pushbuttons
Follow-up by levers or steering-wheel
Autopiloting, track-pilot and speed-pilot
Joystick
Dynamic positioning
With Kongsberg System Philosophy at the core, K-Thrust is fully compatible with
the K-Bridge integrated navigation, K-Chief machinery automation and K-Pos
dynamic positioning, ensuring bumpless transitions between the various command
modes.

K-Thrust specially designed for ABBs Azipod,
the leading podded propulsion.

Whether handling the vessel hands-on the levers,

or by the fingertips on the joystick, our integrated
manoeuvring concept enables full control.

In command Integrated manoeuvering

The unique integrated manoeuvring concept, rendered by the common technology
in the K-Thrust propulsion, rudder and thrusters control system, the K-Bridge navi-
gation system and the K-Pos dynamic positioning system, ensures efficient ship
handling and operator supervision in all manoeuvring phases.
Operational modes range from hands on individual lever commands, via synchro-
nous use of thrusters and propulsion by joystick, to automatic track- and speed
pilot, to fully automatic station keeping.
Joystick mode
The operator controls the vessel using the -axis joystick, or alternatively a polar
joystick with separate heading knob. The operation can be combined with automatic
heading control or with partial position control to e.g. ease docking. Automatic
wind compensation is incorporated in order to increase operational focus on ship
handling.

Watch-keeping of machinery plant
K-CHIEF machinery automation system provides full control of all the machineries.
From multifunctional operator stations in the engine control room the engineer on
watch has excellent overview of the power plant, propulsion machinery and other
machinery systems. Operator stations for monitoring as well as limited operations are
available in wheel house and safety centre, and portable units may be used in engine
rooms for troubleshooting purposes.
Safe and reliable power generation
The power generation and distribution plant is controlled and monitored by the
K-Chief power management system. Redundancy and segregation of power man-
agement components to comply with notations for redundant propulsion plant is
standard. Built-in blackout prevention features such as dynamic load limitation of
propulsion and thrusters drives, monitoring of load sharing devices and load shed-
ding are standard features.
Optimizing vessel performance
Tools for data recording, trending, reporting and analysis are available, gathering
data from all parts of the integrated control system. The engineers may combine
historic data from machinery systems, HVAC and navigation and compare different
operational conditions in order to optimize the performance of the vessel. The moni-
toring and trending function provides operators with a powerful tool for analysis of
power consumption and fuel optimization of propulsion and HVAC plant.
All logged data, alarms and events, includes synchronised time stamping with
milliseconds resolutions in order to facilitate incident investigation.
Design that optimises installation
The K-Chief system features multifunctional input/output units where signal type
is software configurable for each channel. Furthermore data acquisition units are
extensively distributed throughout the vessels and are pre-mounted in switchboards
and other panels to ease ship erection. A high utilisation of field buses significantly
reduces ship cabling, even for safety critical equipment such as fire dampers and fire
doors.
Utilising ergonomic adjustable tables and over-
view projector solutions.
A true distributed solution increased system
reliability.
Power management that safely saves energy.

Maintaining comfort of passengers while keeping an eye

on costs
The K-Chief air condition control system is designed to provide clean air to passen-
gers and crew within comfortable temperature and humidity limits. Even more the
design of the HVAC control system reduces cost of installation and operation.
Energy saving
In order to maintain room temperatures and keep CO level at acceptable levels the
K-Chief HVAC control system utilises complex control algorithms, while at the same
time minimizing energy consumption by optimising air flow through the rooms (VAV
control). Further energy saving is obtained by using time programs for lowering tem-
perature in public spaces only when the area is in use.
Ease of installation and maintenance
Local controllers and process interfaces are installed in the AC rooms and in the
served areas, thereby reducing cost of cabling. By extensive use of field buses
cabling is reduced while enabling individual control of each fire damper.
Ease of maintenance is achieved by portable operator stations that can be hooked
up in AC rooms and used for local operation and troubleshooting. The same units are
used during system erection.

Book and meets the requirements of MARPOL Annex I.
The user interface is clear and functional to ensure the
data are correctly entered.

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.

Taking the right decission

The sophisticated Cause&Effect program tool is
used to implement safety logic. The C&E tool is
also used for online testing and documentation
purposes.
Decision support
In the event of an emergency the safety team will be guided by interactive emer-
gency procedures that will be displayed automatically on the K-Safe operator sta-
tion. Relevant alarms and process status is displayed and the officer may initiate
safety actions directly from the procedure. All safety related alarms and events are
logged in the common history database and will also be listed in the incident report.
Emergency shutdown
The K-Safe ESD system is type approved by TV for use in safety critical applica-
tions in accordance with the IEC0 standard. Shutdown of ventilation, fire doors
and machinery may be initiated from K-Safe operator stations from dedicated ESD
displays or from the interactive emergency procedures. For extended reliability high
level ESD hard panels are located in safety centres.
Crowd management
With several thousand passengers and crew onboard it is mandatory to have efficient
and reliable systems to manage the location of people during a mustering or evacu-
ation situation. The K-Safe crowd management system keeps track of all passengers
and crew by utilising wireless ID-card scanners at mustering stations. The passenger
database is updated with mustering status allowing the officers to track non-reported
passengers.
