Maritime Information Systems AS introduces the world’s first DNV type approved VDR and S-VDR with optional ECDIS providing, in addition to the recorded data required under IEC 61996, recording of the complete logbook data base in ECDIS. The MARIS ECDIS logbook, which complies with SOLAS regulation V/28 for records of navigational activities, provides navigator textual notes, route-monitoring information, including reference to the displayed charts, its updating, ship’s track, heading, speed, alarms and acknowledgements and all other settings of the ECDIS900. The past twelve hours of this data is recorded to the hardened storage device, fixed or float free, together with the obligatory VDR orS-VDR data. The VDR2000 / S-VDR2000 replay system allows the data to be “burnt” to CD rooms and in doing soan ECDIS reader heads the data such that replay reconstructs the actual ECDIS displayed data. This in addition to the display of recorded raw data, audio, VHF, radar, etc which can be displayed in raw form, as radar image or in the form of a conning display. The CD with recorded data may be replayed on any windows compatible PC.
