FURUNO SVERIGE AB’s Smart Bridge NXT Sets New Standard for Cyber-Secure Vessel Operations

Gothenborg, Sweden – FURUNO SVERIGE AB introduces the Smart Bridge NXT, a powerful new bridge control and display system that brings all essential vessel data into a single, intuitive cyber-secure platform.

 

Today’s vessels are packed with advanced technologies – but managing them often means juggling
multiple displays and control units. The Smart Bridge NXT changes that. By consolidating essential
systems into one streamlined, yet scalable system, it transforms the bridge into a smarter, safer, and
more efficient command center.

What sets the Smart Bridge NXT apart is its ability to adapt to the needs of the user in real time.
Operators can select from pre-set work modes that instantly reconfigure the display for specific
tasks—such as navigating, docking, fishing, or construction. With its virtual keyboard replicating the
layout of most connected devices, operators can switch seamlessly between systems and manage
essential functions from a central touch screen.

With digital threats on the rise, cybersecurity is non-negotiable. The Smart Bridge NXT is certified as
cyber-secure by Bureau Veritas (BV) and fully compliant with the latest IACS Unified Requirements
E27. As one of the first bridge systems to meet these stringent international standards, it sets a new
benchmark for security at sea—ensuring robust protection against cyber risks and providing operators
with the confidence to navigate today’s digital landscape.

We have invested several years of development, testing, and collaboration to make the Smart Bridge
NXT a reality,” said Johannes Ahlström, General Manager at FURUNO SVERIGE AB. “I’m truly looking
forward to seeing it in full operation on vessels around the world. It will be a proud moment for our
entire team.”

From concept to code to full-scale deployment, Smart Bridge NXT reflects the expertise and
dedication of the FURUNO SVERIGE team—and FURUNO’s position at the forefront of maritime
innovation. Built for the realities of today and the demands of tomorrow, Smart Bridge NXT offers a
scalable, future-ready platform that simplifies complexity without compromising safety or
performance.
