Bridge equipment edit

The bridge equipment consists of GPS, dGPS, Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA), which usually allows the position of the ship to be plotted with an accuracy of 100 meters. The Electronic chart system - ECDIS plots the ship's position against charts automatically. The information from the AIS, ARPA and Radar is used to allow the bridge crew to accurately plot the positions of other ships in the vicinity.
