A new holistic operator experience

ABB Ability™ AX Bridge

The AX Bridge simplifies the vessel maneuvering experience, by combining and harmonizing functions and information that used to be separate. Fewer levers, a common UI and less information flood. 

The screens and levers adapt to your current operational mode, allowing better situational overview, safer and more efficient vessel control. The combined User Interface smartly filters information, showing what’s relevant to the current operational tasks. Through adaptive controls, screens, levers and sounds, the AX Bridge offers a new holistic operator experience, improving focus and situational understanding. The bridge topology is set up to reflect your vessel's operations and Azipod® configuration.

AX Bridge is the platform for all of ABB’s innovative bridge solutions, current and future. This enables vessels sailing with AX Bridge today, to easily add on new functionalities later on.
