The Kongsberg MPD (Multi Purpose Display) is a dedicated operator interface unit forming part of Kongsberg Maritime’s thruster control architecture. Designed to serve as both a thruster control panel and a multi-purpose display, it provides bridge and control room personnel with direct command and monitoring capability over propulsion and manoeuvring systems. As a core component within a Marine Control System, this unit plays an operationally critical role in vessel handling, dynamic positioning support, and thruster supervision — making its reliability essential to safe and efficient vessel operations.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a combined thruster control interface and multi-purpose display, enabling operator command and system status monitoring from a single panel unit.
✓ Carries revision B6 with associated ECO and change order references (CO-05090, CO-08574), indicating a maintained and updated design lineage within the Kongsberg control system ecosystem.
✓ Compatible with Kongsberg Maritime control system architectures; precise panel integration and network compatibility are subject to confirmation based on vessel configuration.
✓ Intended for installation within protected bridge, control room, or console environments; mounting arrangement and environmental ratings are typical of Kongsberg maritime-grade operator panels.
✓ Direct replacement or service swap for vessels running Kongsberg thruster control systems; part number 8100292 should be verified against the vessel’s system documentation prior to installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels (PSVs) utilising Kongsberg dynamic positioning and thruster management systems.
✓ Anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTSVs) requiring precise thruster command and real-time display of propulsion status during operations.
✓ Drillships and semi-submersible rigs where integrated Kongsberg control consoles manage multiple thruster units across the vessel.
✓ Cable-lay, pipe-lay, and construction vessels dependent on accurate thruster control interfaces for station-keeping and manoeuvring.
✓ Naval auxiliaries, research vessels, and specialised marine platforms operating Kongsberg maritime control and automation systems.
