THE BRIDGE
Above: The propulsion controls. The two levers
in the center control the speed of ship.
Left: The radar displays show the officers what
other traffic and objects are in the vicinity. The
electronic chart takes information from the radar
and other navigational instruments and
superimposes the ship's position and course on a
navigational chart.
Left: Grandeur's spacious
bride is divided into a series
of consoles devoted to different
functions such as emergency
communication, navigational
displays etc.
Right: Captain Johnsen
explains the diagrams of the
ship used in emergency
planning and management.
The Captain's chair is equipped
with a joystick and a series of
other controls for maneuvering
the ship.
There are duplicate sets of controls on each side of
the bridge. This gives the officers a better view of
the ship's position in relation to the pier when the
ship is docking. On Grandeur the bridge wings are
out in the open air.

AND
COMMENTARY
Although Grandeur has electronic charts, the officers still
plot the ship's course on paper navigation charts. Next to
the chart is Grandeur's log book in which the significant
events in the ship's life are memorialized.
