S.V.D.R-(SIMPLIFIED VOYAGE DATA RECORDER)-3000 S
ABOUT:The VR-3000/S is a Voyage Data Recorder/Simplified Voyage
Data Recorder, which fully complies with IMO A861(20) and IEC
61996-1 Ed. 1 and IEC 60945, and IMO MSC. 163(78) and IEC
61996-1, IEC 61996-2 Ed. 2 and IEC 60945, respectively. The
purposes of the VDR and S-VDR are to assist investigators in
identifying the causes of maritime casualty as well as to use the
data for future reference to further incident prevention.
The VDR is intended for all the passenger ships as well as for
newly constructed cargo ships of 3,000 gross tonnage and
upwards. The S-VDR is for existing cargo vessels of the same
category with a phase-in requirement schedule for those of 20,000
gross tonnage and upwards first, to be followed by others of 3,000
gross tonnage and upwards. The S-VDR is not required to store
the same level of detailed data as the VDR but should maintain a
store, in a secure and retrievable form, of information concerning
the position, movement, physical status, command and control of
a ship over the period leading up to and following an incident.
The VR-3000/S consists of Data Collecting Unit (DCU), Data
Recording Unit (DRU), Remote Alarm Panel and up to six
microphones. Incorporating interface modules, a powerful
processor and status monitor into a compact container, the DCU
collects voyage data. The DCU processes the data and events in
the order of occurrence, while old data is overwritten by the latest
data for storage in the DRU. The data is stored for at least 12
hours. In case of power supply failure, the reserve battery enables
the VDR/S-VDR to record the bridge audio for two additional
hours.
The data recorded in the DRU can be replayed with the playback
software application, Liveplayer Pro for incident investigation as
well as for educational briefing purposes.
The DRU is contained in a protective capsule to ensure survival
and recovery of the recorded data following an incident.
The incorporated acoustic pinger helps investigators locate the
capsule underwater.
