IBS Basics

Becker-Heins, R: Polestar Publihing, softcover, illustrated. IBS Basics, A Practical Guide to Integrated Navigation and Bridge Systems explains the concept, architecture and components of modern integrated bridge systems and shows how they support safe and efficient ship navigation in an increasingly digital environment. The book focuses strongly on practical use, translating technical theory about INS/IBS and e-navigation into operational guidance for navigators, pilots, inspectors and other maritime professionals, including human-factor aspects such as system limitations, overreliance and training needs. It also places IBS within the broader context of maritime digital transformation and future e-navigation developments, highlighting both the benefits and risks of ever more interconnected bridge, ship and shore systems.
