Voyage Data Recorder (SVDR)
Highlander Digital Technology Co., Ltd
Refurbished
The Highlander HLD-S2 Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) and Simplified Voyage Data Recorder (SVDR) are advanced maritime safety and navigation recording systems designed to continuously capture critical operational data from a vessel's bridge and navigation equipment. Often referred to as the maritime equivalent of an aircraft black box, the VDR preserves voyage information that can be used for accident investigations, safety analysis, crew performance evaluation, and regulatory compliance.
Modern vessels depend on a wide range of navigation and communication systems such as Radar, ECDIS, AIS, GPS, Gyro Compass, BNWAS, GMDSS, Satellite Compass, and Autopilot systems. The Highlander HLD-S2 collects information from these interconnected systems and securely stores it within protected recording devices and a float-free capsule.
For shipowners, fleet managers, classification societies, and marine authorities, the Highlander HLD-S2 provides a reliable and compliant solution that supports maritime safety, operational transparency, and incident investigation requirements under IMO and SOLAS regulations.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies Highlander HLD-S2 systems in both New Equipment and Reconditioned Equipment condition, supported by worldwide technical services and spare parts sourcing.
The Highlander HLD-S2 is a complete voyage data recording platform engineered to gather, process, and store information from multiple navigation, communication, and automation systems installed onboard a vessel.
The system typically consists of:
The HLD-S2 continuously records:
This recorded information is essential during accident investigations, grounding incidents, collision analysis, and safety audits.
The system shown in the supplied photographs includes the HLD-S2 Main Recording Unit and the protective recording capsule assembly, which are core components of the complete VDR/SVDR installation.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ regularly supports shipowners and managers with Highlander VDR retrofits, upgrades, spare parts sourcing, and repair services.
The Highlander HLD-S2 captures information from multiple navigation and communication systems simultaneously. This allows investigators and operators to reconstruct vessel activities accurately during operational reviews and incident investigations.
One of the most critical safety features is the float-free capsule. In the event of vessel sinking, the capsule automatically separates and floats to the surface, helping authorities recover vital voyage information.
The system continuously records bridge conversations and ambient audio. These recordings provide important contextual information during accident investigations and operational assessments.
The Highlander HLD-S2 interfaces with modern bridge systems including Radar, ECDIS, AIS, GPS, Gyro Compass, BNWAS, Satellite Compass, Navtex, Inmarsat, and GMDSS equipment.
Advanced storage architecture ensures that critical voyage information remains protected and retrievable even after severe maritime incidents.
The front-panel display provides system status information, alarms, diagnostics, operational conditions, and maintenance information for engineers and service personnel.
The Highlander HLD-S2 has been developed to meet international maritime requirements applicable to VDR and SVDR installations onboard commercial vessels.
