Friday, June 21, 2013 Northrup Grumman to upgrade container vessel navigation systemNorthrop Grumman has been chosen by Arklow Shipping to upgrade 12 container vessels with VisionMaster FT Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems to facilitate paperless navigation. Arklow Shipping operates a fleet of 44 ships that transport project cargos, grain, and both general and bulk commodities. The 12 ships being upgraded are multipurpose vessels ranging in capacity from 3,000 to 5,000 gross tons. Northrop Grumman's Sperry Marine division will install the systems by the end of 2014. The VisionMaster FT ECDIS will replace existing NaviECDIS that utilizes the Voyage Management System supplied by Sperry Marine. The VisionMaster FT system brings information from all navigation sensors together, merging the data into multifunction workstations. In addition to paperless navigation, the new ECDIS is designed to reduce maintenance costs and provide the Integrated Bridge System with the latest technology and features.
