Through the great increase in the shipping traffic in the South China Sea it was necessary for the Hong Kong Vessel Traffic Services System (HKVTSS) to be reorganised and upgraded. From here, the Hong Kong Marine coordinates all the shipping traffic in its territorial waters.
Following visits to a few coordination centres fully equipped by us, Brand Control Rooms was instructed. This project’s challenge was to bring all of the extremely specific wishes and requirements together in the design of the 12 consoles.
Our consultant analysed all the bottlenecks through a desk analysis. The proof of concept was tested on location in Hong Kong using a mock-up. Features of the compact and transparent console design include an electric foldaway monitor unit, developed especially by Brand Control Rooms, and a transparent electric adjustable filter screen that more or less cancels out distracting sunlight reflections from the water.
