Danelec Marine has been awarded type by DNV GL for its DM700 and DM800 G2 ECDIS models.
The certificate signifies that the products meet all applicable technical requirements. That includes the new IEC 61174 Ed. 4, IHO-52 and IHO S-64 performance standards.
The Danelec DM800 [ds_preview]G2 and DM700 ECDIS are based on a custom-built computer running on Linux-based software, an intuitive easy-to-learn user interface, industry-leading cartography, ruggedized low-power LED monitors and Danelec’s exclusive SoftWare Advanced Protection (SWAP) technology for fast and inexpensive shipboard service.
»All new Danelec Marine DM700 and DM800 G2 ECDIS models meet the new standard, and we are providing free upgrades for installed legacy DM800 ECDIS products. In some cases this will involve swapping out the older hardware, but for existing DM800 G2 installations, it’s simply a matter of software upgrades which can be installed by the ship’s crew«, said Hans Ottosen, CEO of Danelec.
Headquartered in Denmark, Danelec Marine is a supplier of Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs) and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). According to the company more than 6,000 vessels today are equipped with a VDR or S-VDR designed and manufactured by Danelec Marine.
