SAM Electronics, together with its associate L-3 Marine
Systems Korea subsidiary in Busan, has provided a combined
state-of-the-art NACOS Platinum integrated navigation command system and MCS Platinum automated monitoring and control assembly for the world’s
largest container vessel, CMA CGM Marco Polo, which recently began
service between Europe and Asia. The 396-metre-long vessel was built by
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DMSE) in South Korea for
CMA CGM of France.“This order confirms the continued high-level acceptance of SAM’s latest series of advanced, ergonomically-designed Platinum systems now
in widespread use aboard all classes of commercial shipping as well as
luxury yachts and many of the world’s leading cruiseliners,” said Holger Mahnke, Senior Vice-President of the Hamburg-based company.The CMA CGM Marco Polo has been equipped with a NACOS Platinum
navigation control system comprising X and S-band radars linked to three multifunction Multipilot workstations and an Ecdispilot for centralized control of all main radar, Ecdis and conning operations in addition to
those for automatic steering, track control and voyage planning.
Supplementary sensors for the integrated bridge configuration include
AIS, VDR, GPS, doppler log and echosounder navaids as well as SAM
Electronics’ new Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS).The NACOS assembly is complemented by an integrated MCS Platinum
monitoring and control system governing all main ship operating
components, including 4,500 I/Os on a redundant LAN network. It
incorporates a series of seven high-resolution multifunction display
consoles variously sited on the vessel bridge and in central and engine
control rooms.The Marco Polo is the first of a series of three 16,000 teu vessels
ordered from DMSE by Marseille-based CMA CGM, the world’s third-largest
container shipping group. Delivery of the next two vessels, which are
also being equipped with similar SAM Electronics Platinum systems, is
expected later this year.
