Designed and manufactured in the EU and supporting a global fleet of over 6000 vessels, the Seas Of Solutions’ Netwave brand has been a global leader in the provision of Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs) for over a decade. With a reputation for innovation, design diversity and a focus on quality, a diverse range of customers deploy Netwave technology.
Military, Search and Rescue, Coast Guard, Commercial Marine and Cruise Ships customers are confident in its proven ease of installation, multiple IMO certifications including the Wheelmark and its unparalleled global support network; made up of approximately 320 Service Centres and 1300 engineers.
Netwave’s Simplified VDR technology is scalable to support both system requirements based on the same foundation components but designed with ease of installation and particularly retrofit installation requirements in mind.
In November 2021, Seas of Solutions introduced our latest Voyage Data Recorder, the new NW8000 Compact. A compact VDR designed for non-SOLAS vessels including inland waterway, workboat, superyachts, and pleasure craft. Giving owners, managers and captains the data capture capabilities of a full VDR but with the flexibility to determine what data is captured.
The Netwave VDR Upgrade Kit offers significant economic, innovation and installation benefits for ship owners, managers and service teams upgrading or replacing older VDR systems. With technological and software tools to reduce installation times, designed to minimise vessel disruption by using existing system footprint, combined with cost saving warranty on re-usable components, the NW6000 Upgrade kit accelerates and simplifies VDR retrofits.
Designed and manufactured by Netwave, the NW series is the natural technology upgrade path for NW4000 and Rutter VDRs, ensuring component compatibility and improved service consistency. The specifically designed VDR installation kit reduces fitting complexity, utilising new mechanical and software tools to help service engineers reduce time onboard to as little as a day and a half. The cost-effective system can incorporate the re-warranty and deployment of existing components, to reduce the overall refit cost.
It was the first – and is now the first choice 90-day ULD (Underwater Locating Device). PT9 NINETY meets the requirements of IMO MSC.333(90) and is a direct replacement for existing ULDs, as certified by BSH. (S)VDRs which are pre MSS.333(90), can be fitted with a PT-9 ULD
The PT9 C-Proof is a Seawater-resistant underwater locating device. It is especially designed for the data protective capsules (FRM) of Voyage Data Recorder (VDR/SVDR) systems. It withstands the rough environmental conditions of maritime navigation, high G-shock impact and deep water immersion. (S)VDRs which are pre MSS.333(90), can be fitted with a PT-9 ULD.
When ancillary products such as cable, connectors and switches do not meet maritime environmental requirements, the ability of a major product to meet various performance and environmental standards is compromised.
Introducing the Netwave NW6000-7001 standard 10 port switch and the NW6000-‑7501 managed PoE+ switch with 4 Gb slots + 8 PoE+ slots. Two types of Ethernet switch, each EMC certified and designed to withstand environmental and physical influences. The NW6000-7001 standard switch and the NW6000-7501 PoE+ switch are IEC-60945 compliant and meet maritime environmental requirements.
