Dm100 SVDR

• New generation S-VDR with breakthrough SWAP technology TM
• IMO-compliant with S-VDR standards – and beyond

In December 2004 the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) amended its original carriage requirements for Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs) to allow retrofi tting a Simplifi ed VDR (S-VDR) on existing cargo ships, due to the  culties in interfacing to existing analog sensors on older vessels. The requirements defi ned in MSC.163(78) state that for S-VDRs installed on cargo vessels of 3,000 GT and above which were built before July 1, 2002:

• Data shall be recorded in removable memory of the S-VDR for a minimum of 12 hours

• Data shall be recorded in a fi xed capsule or a fl oat-free capsule for a minimum of 12 hours

• Functionality of saving the recorded data following an incident shall be provided, which can be initiated by the crew without any interruption to the recording process

• Data from the GPS, speed log, gyro compass, VHF and bridge audio shall be recorded

• Radar image and/or data from the AIS shall be recorded

• Data from other sensors shall be recorded, if output is available in IEC 61162 format
