    Bridge Room:
    The bridge of a ship is the room or platform from which the ship can be commanded. When a ship is
    under way, the bridge is manned by an officer of the watch aided usually by an able seaman acting
    as lookout.

     A structure built over something (as water, a low place, or a railroad) so people can cross.
     The place on a ship where the ship is steered.
     Something that joins or connects
     Something like a bridge the bridge of the nose a bridge between cultures.

    Monitoring and control functions for navigation, observation and research, fishing, machinery, radio
    system etc. are systemized in the central control room in order to facilitate a highly integrated system
    on the bridge for efficient operations. All the equipments regarding navigations are available.

    The bridge is always occupied by an officer, able Sea man and her means on watch when
    the ship is in service situated on top of superstructure. It was originally called a 'bridge' because the
    early paddle steamers were controlled from a structure built.

    The bridge is the main control centre of a vessel, from where the captain and officers are able to
    man the entire operations of the vessel. It is generally located in a position with an unrestricted view
    and immediate access to the essential areas of a ship.

    The front end of the ship is the bow. When you move toward the bow, you are going forward, when
    the vessel is moving forward, it is going ahead. When facing toward the bow, the front-right side is
    the starboard bow and the front-left side is the port bow. The central or middle area of a ship is
    amidships.
    Bridge Cross Section:

    Means of Bridge (Equipments): This bridge equipment on a ship is used to


    measure the speed and the distance travelled by a ship from a set point. By calculating
    the same, ETA of the ship is adjusted or given to the port authority and agent.
    Herein, we have enlisted some types of navigational equipment, both old and
    new, which are present on all merchant ships.
     Gyro Compass. It is used for finding the right geographical direction.
     Radar.
     Magnetic Compass.
     Auto Pilot.
     ARPA.
     Speed & Distance Log Device.
     Echo Sounder.
     GPS
     AIS

    The bridge is a room or platform of a ship from which the ship can be commanded. When
    a ship on modern ships the wheelhouse or pilothouse refers to the bridge of smaller motor vessels,
    The bridge is always occupied by an officer on watch when the ship is in service. It was
    originally called a 'bridge' because the early paddle steamers were controlled from a structure built
    between the paddle boxes to provide good visibility
