Totem VDR is a Voyage Data Recorder – VDR system used to record, store, and playback important voyage data of ships. The device supports recording cockpit audio, VHF, radar, ECDIS, AIS, inclinometer, NMEA signals, digital/analog signals, and related operational data.

Version Totem VDR 2014 is designed to meet the new VDR requirements of IMO, effective from 01/07/2014. The system complies with important standards such as IMO MSC.333(90)and in appropriate configurations. These technologies help improve the quality of positioning data when the operating area has corresponding augmented signal support.IEC 61996-1:2013 / IEC 61996-1 Ed.2.

. Totem VDR 2014 meets IMO standards.

Totem VDR 2014 supports data storage for a minimum of 48 hours on fixed recording medium and float-free recording medium. Additionally, the system supports data storage for a minimum of 720 hours / 30 days on long-term recording medium.

By meeting IMO requirements, Totem VDR is suitable for commercial vessels, cargo ships, container ships, oil tankers, passenger ships, and vessels requiring a voyage data recording system for incident investigation, operational inspection, and classification society requirements.

Record radar, ECDIS, AIS and inclinometer data

Totem VDR is capable of recording data from ECDIS, both SOLAS radars, AIS and inclinometer. These are important data groups that help reconstruct the navigation situation before, during, and after an incident.For image data, the system supports recording ECDIS and radar screens. As a result, the investigation team or the ship management department can review the navigation situation more visually.

Record audio on separate channels

A prominent advantage of

is its ability to record each microphone and VHF channel separately. The system does not mix audio channels, making playback and event analysis clearer.Totem VDR 2014This feature is particularly important when it is necessary to accurately identify the audio source, the content of VHF communications, or conversations in the wheelhouse during the investigation of maritime accidents.

19-inch screen supports monitoring and playback

is equipped with a

Users can monitor data recording status, check the system, and play back data directly on the VDR screen.Additionally, the system has a replay module for both ship and office. This allows shipowners, ship management companies, or technical units to easily analyze data when needed.

Extract data via USB, DVD, and LAN

Totem VDR supports remote maintenance

Totem VDR supports remote maintenance through the Totem Cellular Router – TCR. This feature reduces the need for technicians to be physically present on the ship, thus saving maintenance time and costs.

The system also integrates Siemens S7 PLC, allowing the reading of various binary or analog signals. This is useful when needing to connect with devices that do not output NMEA data, especially in retrofit projects on older vessels.

Connecting BAMS and modern cockpit systems

Totem VDR supports VDR NMEA output to the Bridge Alert Management System – BAMS. Furthermore, the current version of the Totem VDR series is described as BAM compliant IEC 62923-1/2.

Thanks to its connectivity with BAMS, radar, ECDIS, AIS and navigation sensors, Totem VDR 2014 is suitable for modern cockpits requiring a stable voyage data recording system that is easy to monitor and retrieve data from.

Suitable for Cruise, Energy, Merchant, and Ferry.

Benefits of using

Totem VDR helps the vessel record all important voyage data. This data can be used for incident investigation, safety inspection, operational analysis, and statutory compliance.

The system facilitates convenient data playback with a 19-inch screen, live replay, and module replay for the vessel or office. Thus, shipowners and management can review data when evaluating a specific event.

The ability to record each channel separately allows for more accurate audio analysis. This is highly beneficial for accident investigation, watchkeeping inspection, or evaluating communication procedures on the bridge.

Additionally, Totem VDR 2014 supports data extraction via USB, DVD, and LAN. This makes retrieving data after an incident or during technical inspections faster and more flexible.

The integration of PLC makes the system easily connectable with various non-NMEA devices. This is a significant advantage when installing on older vessels or systems with multiple analog/digital signals.

Suitable Vessels

• Commercial vessels requiring an IMO-compliant VDR system.
• Cargo ships, container ships, bulk carriers.
• Oil tankers, chemical tankers, hazardous cargo carriers.
• Passenger ships and vessels operating on international routes.
• Vessels needing to replace old VDRs in accordance with IMO 2014 requirements.
• Vessels requiring data recording from ECDIS, radar, AIS, and inclinometers.
• Ship management companies needing fast data extraction.
• Service providers requiring a system with monitoring, replay, and diagnosis capabilities.
• Vessels needing to integrate analog/digital signals from Non-NMEA systems.
• Bridge systems requiring BAMS/BAM connectivity.
