Thank you for your comments, MattyBoy and Brett. There's emergency power available in case of main power failure; then there is UPS with its batteries. If something happens to the bridge, the vessel can be steered from the steering gear room, and her engines can also be operated from her engine room.

Cheers

Excellent pic @Vlad !

Wow - this is fascinating. Great upload @lappino. Is there a backup set of instruments if there is a power outage on the bridge ?

Ha,,ha,, mr Adrian, dont try it
Captain rebuked me when i sleep on that seat while monitoring loading operations, he say : go to your special cabin as i give to you

Hello Vlad

I wouldnt want to sit in that seat
I be asleep in 10 minutes

Well, Husni, it was a rather long day on board, and many a coffee with the captain, too... :)

Seeing how the crew worked the bridge was also a lesson in efficiency and skills.

Cheers

Vlad

This time you have access inside the wheelhouse :) and do spotting

After that Captain will invite for coffee time

Thank you all for your comments. This wheelhouse indeed looks and feels high tech, and so does the other wheelhouse (this is the main, forward one, and this class of ships also has the aft wheelhouse, used during heavy duty ice breaking).

Cheers

Thanks for posting this one, Vlad! Beautiful details and so interesting!

Great! Big like friend Vlad.When I think of the bridges on my old coasters....! Cheers,Volker.

Impressive. Like a glass cockpit. How times have changed...
