CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - Litton Marine Systems has supplied a complete integrated bridge system to Bonny Gas Transport for installation on an LNG carrier that has been placed back into active service after a period of long-term layup.

The Litton bridge electronics equipment was fitted on the 74,000 dwt LNG Lagos at the Sobrena shipyard in Brest.

The Litton installation includes interswitched BridgeMaster E X-band and S-band ARPA radars, and a dual Voyage Management System (VMS) with ECDIS utilizing British Admiralty ARCS electronic charts. The turnkey contract included the design, manufacture and installation of a completely new main navigation console, which was undertaken in a record time of 14 weeks from order.

"The work on the LNG Lagos demonstrates the feasibility of retrofitting a modern state-of-the-art bridge system on an older ship," stated Nolasco DaCunha, vice president, marketing and customer support.
