Netwave NW-6000 VDR (Voyage Data Recorder)
Netwave NW-6000 VDR is a new solution that will enhance safe navigation and ship performance and provide tools for understanding the cause of incidents. The Netwave brand has been a global leader in the provision of Vessel Data Recorders and Simplified VDR since 2006, with over 6000 deployed globally.
What is VDR?
VDRs are data recording systems, mandated for commercial vessels in international waters under regulation 20 of SOLAS Chapter V, to enable accident investigators to review procedures and instructions in the moments before an incident and help to identify the cause of any accident for ocean going vessels. Although the VDR has been in use for some time in the maritime shipping industry, it has now been specially developed for inland navigation by Orolia Maritime, in collaboration with Radio Holland.
What is Inland Waterway VDR?
An Inland Waterway VDR differs from the mandated SOLAS version in several ways. Primarily, the Inland Waterways VDR doesn’t have the rigid specifications of the mandated variant and the solution can be configured for the owner or vessels requirements. The central capability is to capture Radar, AIS, GPS, Depth, Rudder Position, Compass and Rate of Turn Indicator, as part of the core eight sensor recording system.
Additionally, the Orolia NW-6000 VDR can provide tooling for performance measurements. Next to the standard VDR function, the Orolia NW-6000 VDR can be used for optimizing ship performance. The Netwave NW6000 Series is one of the world’s most popular VDR solutions, allowing fleet manager the flexibility and confidence to install technology with their requirements in mind.
