RADAR

I Radar can be connected to an Ethernet network for a variety of user requirements. Each of X- and S-band radar can be interswitched without using extra equipment.

The 100 Base-TX Ethernet is utilized to network up to four sets of FAR-21x7/28x7 series radar with ECDIS FEA-2107/2807. This Ethernet data link gives high-speed and stable navigational data sharing amongst the equipment networked within the system. This network capability gives options to choose from a single station system configuration to complete Integrated Navigation System (INS).

The FAR-21x7/28x7 series radar delivers full TT functionality and can plot up to 100 targets. In addition, this radar series is displaying up to 1,000 targets received from the AIS transponder system. Detailed information about the targets can be shown in data cells on right hand side of the screen. TT/AIS information Scheme gives the operator full control over dense traffic. The type of AIS Symbol shows if it is a sleeping target, a normal target, a selected target, a dangerous target or a lost target.

Automatic Acquisition Zones
Two automatic acquisition zones can be set in a sector or in any form. These zone act as suppression zones, avoiding unnecessary overloading to the processor and clutter by disabling automatic acquisition and tracking outside them. Targets in an automatic acquisition zone are shown with an inverse triangle. The operator can manually acquire important targets without restriction, an essential aid and source of information on assessing the situation. Guard Zones and Anchor Watch Zone Guard Zones generate visual and audible alarms when targets entered the operator-set zones. One of the Guard Zones can be used as an anchor watch to alert the operator when own ship or targets drift away from the set zone.

CPA Alarm
The target tracking symbol changes to a triangle when its predicted course violates the operator-set CPA/TCPA so that the operator may be notified of the approaching targets to the own ship for collision avoidance. The operator can readily change the vector lengths to evaluate the target movement trend

Target trail feature generates a monotone or gradual shading afterglow on all objects on the display in order to help clarify traffic situation. Echo trails can be displayed in either true or relative motion (only true trail on TM). Relative trails show relative movements between targets and own ship. True motion trails require a gyrocompass signal and own ship speed input to cancel own ship's movement and present true target movements in accordance with their over-the-ground speeds and courses.

A radar map is a combination of lines and marks whereby the operators can define and input the navigation area and route planning/monitoring data. The radar map can include up to 20,000 points for lines and marks. The map data can be saved to facilitate repeated use on a regular navigation area. Planned routes created on ECDIS can be transferred onto a radar display when networked with ECDIS.

BNWAS-(BRIDGE NAVIGATIONAL WATCH ALARM SYSTEM )

BNWAS Overview

The purpose of BNWAS (Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System) is to monitor bridge activity and detect operator disability which could lead to marine accidents. BNWAS monitors the watch officer’s presence through watch safety system functions.

A watch officer is required to press the button on a Timer Reset Panel or to operate navigation equipment (e.g. ECDIS, Radar, etc.) at certain intervals. When the officer fails to press the button within pre-set intervals, visual and audible alarms will be generated in the wheelhouse. If the officer doesn’t respond to the alarm, the system transfers the alarm to the Cabin Panels installed in other sections of the vessel in order to inform backup officers of the watch officer’s incapacity. Timer reset function and Visual indication

The timer reset may be facilitated by one of following means: Pressing the reset button on the Main Panel/Timer Reset Panel Provoking the motion sensor Initiate operation of various navigation equipment It is important to keep in mind when planning a BNWAS installation that the external devises, which can act as reset devises, need to be located in position where proper lookout can be done by the watch officer. For the motion sensor, it is critical to locate it in such a way that it cannot be activated by the ships movements. Thus, any curtains present on the bridge deck should not come in the way of the sensor.

For first line of alert, in accordance with IMO Res. MSC.128(75), sufficient number of visual indications (flashing lights) are to be installed and connected. The visual indications should be visible from all operational positions within the bridge where the OOW (Officer of the Watch) may be stationed to perform his duties. These positions are made up by, but not limited to, Conning work station, Navigation support work station, steering work station and 2 x docking work stations. Operational modes

BNWAS should incorporate the following 3 operational modes:
1. Automatic: The BNWAS is automatically activated when the vessel is navigating by means of heading or track control system (autopilot/trackpilot), and inhibited as the heading/track control system is deactivated.
2. Manual ON: The BNWAS is always in operation
3. Manual OFF: The BNWAS is turned off completely

AIS (AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM)

The AIS enhances the safety and efficiency in navigation by automatically exchanging navigational status and other safety-related information within VHF coverage.

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponder FA-150 is designed to improve navigation safety by observing other AIS equipped ships. It can provide you with a solution for open sea cruise and inland navigation.  The FA-150 can be interfaced with radar, ECDIS and ECS (Electronic Chart System), allowing AIS information to be displayed on them. Overlaying the AIS targets on the display enables vessel operators to distinguish the ships from other targets, such as islets. The FA-150 complies with relevant international regulations and standards (e.g., IMO, ITU-R, IEC) as well as international class requirements and Inland AIS requirements. For inland use, the FA-150 has the Blue Sign port. Blue Sign status information helps you recognize the approaching vessels to your area.

GYRO COMPASS

A gyrocompass detects the direction of true north by means of a fast-spinning rotor, which is suspended with no friction and is influenced by gravity and rotation of the Earth. A gyrocompass consequently indicates a ship's heading. The ship's heading is transmitted to repeater compasses and other ship's equipment after the signal format is converted to serial data or to stepper or analog signals depending on what type of format the equipment requires.
Features
• The system configuration can easily be adapted to each vessel's specifications.
• IEC 61162-2 high-speed code is available for the heading and rate of turn (ROT) outputs.
• A unique anti-vibration system enhanced by the velocity damping effect of high viscous oil, provides superior damping of vibration and decoupling of shock at sea.
• A small and lightweight container enhances the follow up speed. The gyrocompass changes smoothly and does not lag when a small vessel rapidly changes course.
• A space-saving design: the master compass can be installed on the autopilot stand.
• The restart time can be preset from 1 to 99 hours.

Magnetic Compass

We have Different types of magnetic compasses meet the requirements of all types of ships, always according to all important national and international specifications. The scope of delivery contains all necessary components as magnetic reflector compass, azimuth device, reflection tube, illuminations and installation material

Autopilot

The Autopilotuses most advanced steering algorithms and offers excellent steering performance, accuracy and reliability. The autopilot can be used in heading control mode or track control mode in combination with a separate navigation receiver. Autopilot can easily be adapted manually or by predefined parameter sets to the current environmental or ship condition and adapts automatically to ships speed. Various interfaces make the installation of the Autopilot on newbuilds and retrofit applications quick and simple.
