DEIF
VTR-3
BRIDGE WING INDICATOR
RANGE: PORT 60-0-60 STBD
ORDER NO.: 35858-5
DISTANCE FROM COMPASS: 0.5 METER
The DEIF VTR-3 is a bridge wing indicator designed to display rudder angle or similar navigational data at the bridge wing stations of a vessel. As part of a ship’s marine control system, it provides helmsmen and officers with a clear, real-time readout of steering position across a Port 60-0-60 Starboard range — an essential reference point during manoeuvring, berthing, and close-quarters navigation. Its specified compass distance of 0.5 metre reflects careful design consideration for magnetic compass safe-distance requirements, making it suitable for installation in proximity to standard magnetic compasses onboard. Reliable indication at the bridge wing is a fundamental operational requirement on a wide range of commercial and working vessels.
Key Features
✓ Displays rudder or steering angle across a Port 60-0-60 Starboard range, providing a full-sweep indication for precise helm monitoring at the bridge wing station.
✓ Specified compass safe distance of 0.5 metre, ensuring compatibility with magnetic compass installation zones — a critical consideration for bridge layout compliance.
✓ Manufactured by DEIF, a recognised supplier of marine instrumentation and control equipment; intended for integration within DEIF bridge indication and steering control systems — specific panel or controller compatibility subject to confirmation.
✓ Suitable for bridge wing mounting, a location exposed to varying environmental conditions; exact ingress protection rating and enclosure specification should be confirmed from the unit nameplate or technical datasheet.
✓ Direct replacement or retrofit indicator referenced by Order No. 35858-5; buyers are advised to verify system compatibility and wiring configuration before installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Bridge wing rudder angle indication on merchant vessels including bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, and general cargo vessels.
✓ Steering monitoring stations on ferries, RoRo vessels, and passenger ships where clear helm readout at the wing is operationally critical during port approach and departure.
✓ Integration within DEIF marine bridge control and steering indication systems as a remote display unit for the bridge wing position.
✓ Replacement or upgrade of existing bridge wing indicators during dry dock, scheduled maintenance, or steering system overhaul programmes.
✓ Offshore support vessels, tugs, and workboats where precise manoeuvring information at the bridge wing is essential for safe vessel handling.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The DEIF VTR-3 is a purpose-built marine bridge wing indicator that combines a clearly defined display range with a documented compass safe distance, making it a practical and dependable choice for vessels requiring reliable steering indication at wing stations without compromising compass integrity.
Ideal For
Merchant vessels, ferries, RoRo and passenger ships, offshore support vessels, tugs, and workboats requiring a dedicated bridge wing rudder angle indicator as part of a DEIF marine control or steering indication system.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support remote troubleshooting, system integration, installation guidance, commissioning, and retrofit or upgrade projects involving this bridge wing indicator. Repair and bench-testing options may also be available subject to confirmation. To confirm compatibility with your vessel’s existing steering indication or bridge control system, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the full part or order number, relevant system drawings or wiring diagrams, the DEIF system model or software version in use, and vessel name or IMO number where applicable. All compatibility and fitment assessments are subject to confirmation based on the information provided.
