According to Lilaas, its first LO1 units will be delivered to US-based Marine Technologies LLC, which will deliver a BridgeMate thruster control system for a platform support vessel (PSV), ordered by Global Offshore at Havyard in Norway. The newbuilding of type 832 design is due for delivery in June 2013.
The LO1 is a multifunctional control lever for azimuth, thruster or propulsion controls. The lever’s functionality and high software content is complimented by its ergonomic design; Lilaas said. The system can be supplied with a built-in TFT LCD display, showing the position of the lever and feeds back information from the ship’s systems.
