Control consoles 

Consoles for demanding applications both on the bridge and in the engine room are a key area of expertise of Wilhelmsen Marine Engineering.

We are known worldwide for designing, manufacturing and installing consoles of a high quality onboard a large variety of ship types.

We design each control console to the individual application according to the customer requirements, classification and the available space. Seamless incorporation of controls of the equipment suppliers for steering, control and other system is key to a well laid-out control console.
 
It is often a challenge to accommodate the very complicated connections of a main bridge console in the space available. Especially without compromising on ease at which the equipment can be maintained. But because of our pre-defined general process for Customer Relationship Management, we are able to ensure a solution that matches our customer's needs without taking up too much space.
 
Design and engineering is based on components that are readily available worldwide. The consoles are manufactured in accordance with IEC 60439 and IEC 60092-302. They are built of 2-3 mm steel sheet profiles, which are all welded to ensure a strong construction.
