Details

This document published by the IMO provides details on how VDR and S-VDR systems, installed on or after 1 July 2006, should be supplied with accessible means for extracting stored data to a laptop computer. This enables marine accident investigators to make immediate and effective use of data after an accident.

Further information on voyage data recorders can be found on the IMO website.
