Provided sensors are connected and configured to be recorded. Th following (minimum) data is
stored (line numbers refer to IEC61996-1:2013).
4.6.1 Date and time
4.6.2 Ship’s position
4.6.3 Speed
4.6.4 Heading
4.6.5 Bridge audio
4.6.6 Communications audio
4.6.7 Radar data
4.6.8 ECDIS
4.6.9 Echo sounder
4.6.10 Main CAUTIONs
4.6.11 Rudder order and response
4.6.12 Engine and thruster order and response
4.6.13 Hull openings (doors) status
4.6.14 Watertight and fire door status
4.6.15 Accelerations and hull stresses
4.6.16 Wind speed and direction
4.6.17 AIS
4.6.18 Rolling motion
4.6.19 Configuration data
2.4 Power failure
All available data is recorded until ship’s power to the VDR fails, and from then only selected data
(bridge audio) is recorded for a further two hours after which recording stops automatically.
2.5 Network protocols and IP address ranges incl. LWE
Network protocol requirements.
The VDR implements IPv4 and supports for the following specific network protocols:
• ARP – Address Resolution Protocol
• IP – Internet Protocol
• UDP – User datagram Protocol
• ICMP – Internet Control Message Protocol
