The Alphabridge concept encourages customised design, with basic consoles composed of standard sheet metal modules which can be free standing or linked together to compose a full bridge layout. An overhead console has also been engineered to accommodate instruments typically placed above. The colour scheme is based around standard variants of grey but individualised colours are available on request.

An interesting feature of the Alphabridge is that it is height adjustable either manually or via optional electronic control, making it possible to satisfy varying international standards regarding working conditions.

Within Alphabridge, it is possible to choose standard components from the Alphatron Marine range, including Alphaline control panels, Alphacon customisable conning screen technology and the Alphachart fully type-approved ECDIS system. Proven radar systems are sourced from JRC or Kelvin Hughes. The Alphabridge concept is suitable for installations in European shipyards or prefabricated modules can be sent to yards further afield. Technicians receiving those packages will have little to do as the bulk of the work is carried out at Alphatron's prefabrication workshop in Rotterdam before shipment.
