Deck Equipment
Centralized controls for fishing systems, ship speed and maneuvering are provided at the Aft Control Station (ACS) on the bridge. Local controls are provided for each winch and lifting device. The ACS is located to give the vessel operators maximum visibility of the working deck. A closed circuit TV system is included for visibility of below-deck winches and selected areas of the deck.
