The bridge includes wheelhouse, wing and installed equipment, is the core part for the ship performing navigational commands. The overall design of the bridge includes the design of the position, layout, and coating of the wheelhouse, as well as the design of the driving console and the relevant equipment. This paper discusses the complete method for the design and verification of the bridge. The overall design of the bridge is carried out in terms of the navigation task design, man-machine environment design and information system construction design through the arrangement of the relevant domestic and foreign regulations, combined with the mission characteristics of the ship. The design is also verified by combining the virtual simulation calculation and the semi-physical model test.
