1. OVERVIEW
1.1 Outline
Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) is designed to record and store in a secure and retrievable form,
information concerning the ship’s position, movement, physical status and control command for the
period leading up to and following an incident. It enables the accident investigators to review
procedures and instructions in the moments leading to an incident and help to identify the cause of the
accident. The data recorded by VDR can be used for vessel management, such as equipment health
management, ship position management.
NVR-9000 is the first generation of NSR VDR product, flexible to form a VDR or SVDR, easy to
install and maintain. The product is designed to meet the following standards：
1. MSC.333 (90): Adoption of Revised Performance Standards for Shipborne Voyage Data Records
(VDRs)
2. IEC 61996-1 (2014): Maritime Navigation and Radiocommunication Equipment and Systems
-Shipborne Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) -Part 1: Performance Requirements, Methods of Testing
and Required Test Results
3. MSC214（81）: “Amendments to the Performance Standard for Shipborne/Shipborne Simplified
Voyage Data Recorder”
4. IEC 61996-2: Maritime Navigation and Radiocommunication Equipment and
Systems-Shipborne Voyage Data Recorder (VDR)-Part 2: Simplified Voyage Data Recorder
(S-VDR)-Performance Requirements, Methods of Testing and Required Test Results
