Applying And Management Of Voyage Data Recorder

The shipborne Voyage Data Recorder (Hereinafter it is short for VDR) is named shipborne blackbox as well. It is a kind of intelligent recording devices that exclusively applied to reserve voyage data of shipping. VDR plays vital role in marine accident investigation. Meanwhile, VDR will enhance supervision and management of shpping, and improve the management level of safety of ships. With the implementation of VDR techinique, creation of rules on application and management of VDR plays significant role in developing functions of VDR. It follows therefore that this theme focuses on research work concerning issues aforementioned.This theme prominently analyzes development and history of VDR, discusses the unique functions in accident investigation, probes into functional effects of VDR in various marine accident and functions of safe management of VDR, indemnity due to insurance policy as well as trial of navigating for ships, and looks forward relationships among VDR, ECDIS, AIS and prognosticates VDR effects combined with future communication technique. This theme analyzes national and international rules and agreements concerned, analyzes and summarizes management codes and approaches concerning technical specifications, inspectional procedures, model recognition and etc.Finally this theme focuses on basic functions of VDR, requirements of technical performance and relevant standards, analyzes systematic structures of VDR system and composition of the device. With the development of continuous developing of Chinese shpping and challenge of modern technology overseas as well as China becoming memembership of WTO, Chinese shipping is going to meet enormous impact and competition. Following with the implementation of VDR technique, informational processes for China shipping are achieved and essential opportunities for developing of China shipping andinformation service for China shipping are prosperous.
