Printing – Wheelhouse posters

A wheelhouse poster is a marine navigation poster that is displayed in the ship’s wheelhouse (bridge) to provide important maneuvering information for the vessel.

A wheelhouse poster typically includes diagrams and data about how a ship behaves when maneuvering, such as

• Turning characteristics of the vessel
• Turning circles when the rudder is applied
• Track paths of the ship during turns
• Speed and time to turn (90°, 180°, 270°, 360°)
• Emergency stopping information
• Distance travelled before the ship stops when engines go full astern

The poster helps ship officers quickly understand the vessel’s maneuverability and stopping ability, which is critical for safe navigation, especially in emergencies or confined waters.
These posters are printed on Dibond Metal Print – White Matte, which is a popular method for displaying photos or artwork on a rigid aluminum composite panel with a matte white coating.

1. High Image Quality

• The white matte surface provides a clean and neutral background.
• Colors appear accurate and balanced, making it great for photography and artwork.

2. Very Durable

• Dibond panels are made of two aluminum layers with a solid polyethylene core.
• They are scratch-resistant, moisture-resistant, and long-lasting.

3. Lightweight but Strong

• Even though it’s metal, the composite structure makes it lightweight and rigid.
• Easy to mount on walls without heavy framing.

4. Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use

• Resistant to humidity and temperature changes.
• Wheelhouse posters are displayed on ship’s wheelhouse (bridge).
