(Birkeroed, Denmark – Sept. 9, 2015) – (Marine NewsWire) Danelec Marine today announced that it has received type approval from the Korean Register of Shipping for its DM100 series Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs).
The Korean approval certifies that the DM100 VDR complies with all the provisions of the new IMO VDR standard which came into force in 2014, including IEC 61162-450 requiring Ethernet connectivity with the ship’s ECDIS and radar data.
“Danelec Marine’s DM100 VDRs provide a solid, safe and simple solution to meet the VDR carriage requirements, ” said Hans Ottosen, CEO of Danelec Marine. “In addition, they incorporate new capabilities beyond the minimum regulatory requirements, such as remote access into the VDR from shore offices.”
