Voyage Data Recorders – Analysis Systems and Services

If you’re the owner or operator of a fleet of ships fitted with Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs) or Simplified Voyage Data Recorders (S-VDRs), then you are faced with the challenge of getting the maximum benefit from having had to fit them.

Data from VDR/S-VDRs can be used for a range of purposes, including :

 
  • Establishing the causes of an incident

  • Training exercises

  • Identifying trends which will erode safety margins

  • Saving money by identifying inefficient or wasteful operation

In order to make use of your VDR/S-VDR data for these purposes, you will need to know how to ensure that data is always available following an incident, and can be analysed effectively when and where required.

Avenca are independent specialists with considerable experience of analysing VDR data from a wide range of VDRs and S-VDRs. As a result we can assist you in a variety of ways, including :
 
  • Saving and downloading data

  • Replay facilities

  • Support for the analysis of data

  • Transcription and signal enhancement of audio data

All of which ensure that :
 
  • Data is available for analysis, for example following an incident

  • You can analyse that data when and where required

  • You get the maximum benefit from analysing your VDR/S-VDR data
