Navis NavDP 4000 Series system highlights

The new standard console for the Navis NavDP 4000 Series workstation has been designed following Det Norske Veritas (DNV) rules and using experienced DP operators’ feedback to ensure a friendly environment for the operator as well as for the service staff.

User interface design concept

The user interface of the Navis NavDP 4000 Series has been developed in cooperation with experienced DP operators and ergonomic experts. Priorities have been given to clear and unambiguous presentation of information, timely error-free access to functions, and simplicity. Although the system is based on the Windows XP operating system, the design of the new user interface does NOT accept standard “Windows-like” controls. Instead it uses “device-like” controls. The combination of the high quality marine touch screen and the dedicated DP control panel with as few as a dozen of buttons and controls provides a unique intuitive and self explanatory user interface. Voice alarms and a messaging function help to maintain a high level of awareness in any situation.


                           

Autopilot control mode

The Navis NavDP 4000 Series is equipped with a built-in fully functional autopilot, which has been type-approved by DNV as a Heading Control System. The Autopilot Mode is used for heading control when the vessel is moving forward. Since it is approved for navigation, it can be used instead of a separate conventional Heading Control System.

The compact panel of the Navis AP3000 DNV-approved autopilot can optionally be used in the forward navigation console as a remote control station for the autopilot if an aft-view Independent Joystick System is installed. Alternatively, a forward-view Independent Joystick System may be used to control the autopilot if particular Class rules permit such a bridge arrangement.
