User focus
FlexiBridge is designed so that those who have their daily work on the bridge get the best possible overview and easiest possible access to instruments and controls on the bridge.

The end result will be as if you have chosen a fully integrated bridge solution from any major suppliers. But with a FlexiBridge you may choose your preference of instruments from a mixture of the major suppliers.
Layout of consoles
Steinsvik has extensive experience in creating customized layouts of instruments, displays and controls that ensure an optimal location of each device in accordance with the regulations.
Pre-cut top plates
We make cut-outs for all instruments to be mounted in the top plates. This simplifies installation work and the result is clean and professional looking. Replaceable top covers makes it easy to upgrade instruments and keep the bridge neat.
Pre-installation of instruments
Steinsvik can also mount all instruments and equipment which are to be inserted in the consoles before they are transported to the shipyard for fitting in the wheelhouse. The result is a fast, clean and cost efficient installation of bridge consoles.
Low-noise
There are strict regulations on noise created by computers and cooling fans on the bridge deck and in control rooms. Our FlexiBridge design allows for noisy computers to be placed in a separate instrument room to minimize noise for the operators.
New generation
We have developed a new generation of FlexiBridge with new basic design, new functionality and new modules. This provides FlexiBridge greater flexibility, better ergonomics, easier installation and improved serviceability.
