What is a tanker desk?

A tanker desk is a specialized desk designed specifically for use in the control rooms of oil tankers and other large vessels. It typically features a large working surface and integrated consoles, panels and controls for monitoring and controlling the ship's various systems, including navigation, propulsion, cargo handling, and safety systems. Tanker desks are typically designed to provide ergonomic comfort and efficiency for the ship's officers, allowing them to access and control all necessary information and functions from a single central location.
