Integrated Bridge Systems Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global Integrated Bridge Systems market would likely grow at a CAGR of 3.70% during 2025-2034. Integrated Bridge System represents a flexible combination of a vessel’s steering, navigation, and communication systems. Integrating these systems enables optimization of works carried out by men.

Applications including ARPA, radar, ICAS, ECDIS, sensor control, cameras or monitoring are readily accessible from every MFW. Features include single-person operation, intelligent routing, integration with other systems, track control system and automatic route tracking, dependability, improved work safety, and others. Asia, North America and Europe are likely to be key markets.

Global Market Likely to be Driven by Applications in Ship Operations

Integrated bridge system (IBS) refers to a grouping of systems that are interrelated to enable centralized access to sensor information or command/control from workstations, to enhance efficient and safe ship management. Different types of ships have different types of integrated bridge system. Systems vary with a ship’s bridge design, type of apparatus utilized, and arrangement of bridge apparatus.

A good IBS system would be able to assist multiple facets including communications, execution of passage, cargo operations, machinery control, and safety and security. IBS can be grouped under four key divisions - Human Operator, Technical System, MMI, and Operational Guidelines. IBS generally comprises Autopilot, Gyro, Dual ECDIS setup, Dual Radar/ARPA, Conning Display, Position Fixing Systems, PDS, GMDSS, Steering Gear. An alarm system connects these systems and emits visual and audio signal in emergencies. Such applications are likely to boost the global integrated bridge systems market.

Leading Companies Offer Solutions for Better Efficiency and Safety

Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine’s IBS offers improved shipboard safety and efficiency; the system offers superior performance and dependable navigation under challenging conditions, by clubbing data from all on-board systems and navigation sensors.

Kongsberg offers K-Bridge Integrated Bridge System suited to needs of all sea-going ship types.

In 2023, Raytheon Anschütz delivered an IBS to Van Oord’s new dredger Vox Ariane. The system included navigational radars, multifunctional workstations, a redundant, maintenance-free gyrocompass system, and an accurate auto- and track-pilot, and a range of navigational sensors.

In 2021, Damen chose OSI Maritime Systems to provide a navigation suite for the German Navy’s F126 frigate programme. The contract included ECPINS software-powered IBMS for frigates and land-based test and training facilities. Such developments are expected to boost the global integrated bridge systems market.

In 2021, Rolls-Royce and Sanlorenzo came together to add a novel dimension to their association with mtu engines and IBSs. Rolls-Royce business unit Power Systems would be a key supplier for Sanlorenzo for three years as chief propulsion provider for particular SL line yachts, delivering mtu 10V, 12V and 16V 2000 yacht engines with a compacted IMO 3 solution.
