(Birkeroed, Denmark – Feb. 3, 2015) – (Marine NewsWire) The Russian Maritime Register of Shipping has issued a type approval certificate for the Danelec Marine DM100 Simplified Voyage Data Recorder (S-VDR).

The Russian type approval certifies that the Danelec DM100 S-VDR complies with the provisions of IMO Resolution MSC.163(78) and IEC 61996-2 ed.2, and clears the way for replacement of aging S-VDRs on ships sailing under the Russian flag.

Under the IMO carriage requirements, all passenger and cargo ships over 3, 000 gross tons must be fitted with an approved VDR. S-VDRs are allowed on non-passenger ships constructed prior to July 1, 2002, as an alternative to a full VDR.

“The Danelec DM100 S-VDR is designed to provide a solid, safe and simple solution to retrofit systems installed on ships built prior to 2002, ” said Hans Ottosen, CEO of Danelec Marine. “It is a totally new product based on the same platform as the new-generation DM100 VDR. It incorporates Danelec’s exclusive SoftWare Advanced Protection (SWAP) technology, which facilitates fast and easy shipboard service. The DM100 VDR and S-VDR use the same basic system architecture and share common parts and spares for easy service and repairs worldwide.”

In addition to the Russian Maritime Register, the Danelec DM100 S-VDR has been type-approved by Bundesamt für Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie.
