Headway VDR & S-VDR

Voyage Data Recorder (VDR & S-VDR)

Voyage Data Recorder or simply called VDR, is a data recording system designed for all vessels required to comply with the IMO’s International Convention SOLAS Requirements (IMO Res.A.861(20)). Headway’s Voyage data recorder enables accident investigators to review procedures and instructions in the moments before an incident and help to identify the cause of any accident.

Main Cabinet

Based on real-time embedded operating system of VxWorks, the system is more reliable, handy and adaptable to all kinds of installation on board. With a power of 25W without any ventilation fan, the Main Cabinet Unit Body is designed to be air tight. There are many interfaces with PNP function, it can be configured online, with easy access to debug and installed with real-time monitor function.

Power Supply

The main and supplementary power supply comes with 110V/220V 50Hz/60Hz without the need of any configuration. The control panel ensures that the VDR will continue to function with only 24V in the event the main power supply is cut off.

Global Service Network

With more than 80 service agents around the globe, our clients can rest assured that convenience is at their finger tips.

Electronic Chart Display and Information System – ECDIS

The system is able to combine with AIS, GPS, ARPA, Gyro Compass, Speed Log, Echo Sounder, Autopilot and other communication and navigation equipment. It has the capability to deal with varieties of information, including maritime geography, sailing states of this vessel, navigation environment and massive numbers of vessels. It provides navigation, collision-avoidance assistance and route management of vessels. It can be used in a variety of large and medium sized vessels.

Multiple Functions

 Auxiliary Navigation

Multiple information can be processed simultaneously including speed logs, compass and GPS positioning to achieve the best positioning, track, heading and speed.

Real time search of various information of the surrounding vessel that can provide more accurate acoustic and light alarm to prevent collision.

 Object Collision Avoidance Alarm

The system can combine AIS and APRA to achieve Collision Avoidance Assistance. It is able to monitor the current vessel in relation with other vessel’s planned routing and automatically calculate the deviation as necessary and activate the alarms.

The system is also able to detect hazardous area, reef, restricted navigation areas and shoal.

 Navigation Administration

ECDIS is also able to perform route planning and management with a automatic log recording function. It is able to capture detailed information of the objects, navigational condition, current, weather condition and vessel’s performance.

ECDIS is also able to check local and destination’s tidal condition. Using the information collected, EDIS is able to pre-plan an alternative route.
