    MFD4000 Navigation System

    Wärtsilä 4000 Multifunction Display System (MFD) is a flexible and fully redundant navigation solution providing the operator with a convenient task-oriented environment. The system combines Wärtsilä Navi-Sailor 4000 ECDIS MFD, Navi-Radar 4000 MFD, Navi-Conning 5000 and Bridge Alert Management System running simultaneously. All Wärtsilä 4000 MFD components are designed in compliance with IMO, IEC, DNV and Lloyds Register requirements.

    Key advantage

    4000 MFD concept is the integration and sharing of radar image and sensor data amongst the workstations connected on the network, such as:

    • Charts and databases
    • Sensor data
    • Radar data
    • Route and Voyage plan data
    • Alarms, warnings, and cautions
    • Track history and logbook

    Key features

    Wärtsilä 4000 MFD software provides the common base for installation of ECDIS MFD and Radar MFD systems depending on the primary task/ functionality and required certificate:

    • ECDIS MFD is type-approved Navi-Sailor 4000 ECDIS in basic configuration with optional Radar Slave task for external radar connection without scanner control.
    • Radar MFD is type-approved Navi-Radar 4000 in basic configuration with X or S-band Scanner Set optionally for up or down mast installation depending on configuration.
    • Conning task is optional and when purchased once then is available on all workstations in network and can be displayed on extra monitor connected to any workstation for space saving and cost reduction.
    • Navi-Watcher 5000 BAMS (Bridge Alert Management System) can be provided as additional MFD task intended for collection and display of alerts from various sources on the bridge, as well as providing alerts history.
    • Navi-Watcher 5000 BNWAS (Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System) is integrated with Navi-Watcher 5000 BAMS and can be supplied as option. The purpose of BNWAS is to monitor bridge activity and detect Officer on Watch (OOW) disability which could lead to marine accidents.
    • Navi-Sailor 4000 TCS (Track Control System) function can be provided together with ECDIS Master task.
