Danelec has launched the DM100 VDR G3, the latest generation of its Voyage Data Recorder platform.
The system includes a redesigned architecture with expanded battery capacity, upgraded bridge control options and new microphone configurations. It also introduces a modular Data Acquisition Unit and storage designed to handle inputs such as S-100 ECDIS overlays, 4K radar and continuous multi-sensor data streams.
Built-in diagnostics and automated self-tests are included, alongside integration with Danelec’s Safety Insights and Service App for issue detection. The platform is also cloud-ready, with connectivity via Danelec’s Vessel Remote Server enabling remote diagnostics, proactive maintenance planning, remote Operational Performance Testing, and access to up to 30 days of recorded VDR data.
“Far more than a regulatory device, VDRs are today becoming a central source of operational intelligence,” said Christian Kock, EVP Safety at Danelec.
“With the DM100 VDR G3 we have combined the resilience needed for safety-critical performance with advanced connectivity, diagnostics and modular architecture.”
“This allows owners not only to stay compliant under today’s demanding standards, but also to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow, where cybersecurity, AI and data transparency will play an even greater role in safe and efficient vessel operations.”
