MARINELINK Prime Features

User Interface

A completely redesigned user interface provides a realistic 2D/3D or schematic representation of the ship for internal navigation; customizable equipment views, room-based equipment views, light and dark modes, and a fully scalable UI.

Alarms

Notifications, alerts and popups intelligently direct the operator to the relevant physical and equipment location.

Manage all Ship Systems In One Place

Connected via a redundant process bus, crew can track information and send commands to equipment and systems from the bridge or any MARINELINK Prime location on the ship.

Simple to Maintain and Upgrade

MARINELINK Prime is built from Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware to provide a robust and widely available, tailored solution for your marine automation requirements.

Power Management

Optimise power generation to match consumption, whilst minimising fuel and maintenance costs. Integrate into any generator configuration and type, allowing great flexibility for vessel configuration.

The MARINELINK Prime interface has a modern look and feel, with a traditional flat view display by system familiar to vessel operators.

The new interface, such as the schematic view, offers an enhanced interface to meet the same classification society requirements.

Trending: New functionality has been added to allow multiple similar readouts to open together as a trend data layout. This feature is accessed from popup windows where several instances of similar data are present on the same popup window. Trend data layouts can be saved as files on the file system. A shared folder location will be set up between all machines to enable trends to be created and accessed from any ML Prime machine.

Alarms: Notifications, alerts and popups intelligently direct the operator to the relevant physical and equipment location.
