What exactly VDR System?

VDR devices (or journey data recorders) are the hottest generation of maritime technology. They allow a ship to record in real time, within a safe and recoverable approach, a sequence visit of occurrences that are relevant for the investigation of your navigation incident. Often referred to as the “marine black box”, the machine is designed to accumulate information from different receptors onboard and transmit this to a central unit, just where it is registered in digital form. Your data is then provided for a capsule, which can be both fixed or float-free. The capsule provides a brightly colored label to facilitate it is easy location if the need occurs.

VDR examination has proved to be a highly effective instrument for increasing operational basic safety onboard ships. It can determine trends that, if left unchecked, may lead to incidents and can therefore enable Paid members to take further action before an incident appears. Airlines have already been using the same method for years and this possesses triggered a substantial decrease in air problems. VDR forensics will be an invaluable tool just for Members and their clients in analysing the reason for incidents and accidents for sea.
