What is a VDR / SVDR System?

A Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) is a marine recording system used to collect and store important operational and navigational information from onboard equipment.

An SVDR (Simplified Voyage Data Recorder) performs similar functions but is generally designed for smaller vessels or simplified recording requirements.

The system records information such as:

• GPS Position
• Ship Speed
• Gyro Heading
• Radar Data
• AIS Information
• Bridge Audio
• VHF Communication
• Alarm Status
• Engine Orders
• Echo Sounder Data
• Rudder Movement

This data becomes extremely important during:

• Marine accident investigations
• Collision analysis
• Safety audits
• Insurance claims
• Technical troubleshooting
• Crew training and performance review
