Kongsberg Maritime Upgrades S-VDR Package
The Maritime Black Box – S (MBB-S), Kongsberg Maritime's S-VDR offering, has received several upgrades in order to provide an even more cost effective package to ship owners. The black box computer's hard disk size has been increased from 40gb standard/120gb optional, to 160gb standard, which now enables up to 30 days playback time, for the same cost. This increases the potential of the MBB-S as training and trending tool, both applications that owners have expressed an interest in.
Kongsberg Maritime packaged the MBB-S in one compact marine grade cabinet. Additionally, the Remote Annual Survey package, which enable ship's crew to conduct S-VDR surveys in conjunction with Kongsberg Maritime has been 'unlocked' and is now available for use on any onboard PC. The MBB-S is currently the only S-VDR on the market with options for Type Approved fixed or float free capsules.
