Propulsion Equipment · Shaft Line & Propulsion
The Kongsberg Maritime MCON is listed in the Propulsion Equipment category and carries DNV class approval for bridge systems together with IMO SOLAS compliance for a bridge system. This points to equipment that links bridge-level command and monitoring with the propulsion and shaft line arrangement. It is installed on the bridge or in the associated control cabinets, and is intended to support safe command and indication for propulsion on certified ships.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Test command transfer, back-up control, alarm functions and feedback indication according to the maker's procedure and the vessel's planned maintenance. Class surveyors normally check type-approval documentation, cabling and power supply arrangements, and the function of emergency or alternative control paths.
| Software/firmware review | per manufacturer release schedule, typically reviewed annually |
|---|---|
| UPS battery replacement | typically every 3-5 years |
| MFD/display cleaning and function check | every 6 months |
| Full system function test including failover | annually, coordinated with class survey |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
Class checks that the installed IBS/INS configuration matches the type-approval certificate, that independent back-up navigation means are available and functional, that software modifications are documented, and that alarm/failover functions are demonstrated at survey.
Estimated lifetime: Integrated bridge electronics are not rated in running hours; typical service life before a major hardware/software refresh is around 10-15 years, driven more by obsolescence than physical wear.
Carry spare control panels or modules agreed with the maker, fuses, power supply units, connectors and cable sets. Keep configuration backups of control settings on board for fast restoration after a module replacement.
