Netwave River VDR Inland Navigation Black Box
The Netwave River VDR is a very interesting new development when it comes to fleet management and safe navigation. 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 Netwave, in collaboration with Radio Holland.
The Netwave river VDR offers invaluable assistance in the case of incidents. The play-back functionality allows an incident to be played digitally. The VDR is linked with the River Radar and the intercom system, among others, in order to provide an excellent image of the situation at hand.
