Transas Multifunction 4000 for NORDEN Tankers
The technical management of NORDEN, one of Denmark's leading shipping companies has decided to commence a transition towards paperless navigation on a number of their tankers. Transas Marine has been chosen as a supplier of 4000 Multifunction Display (MFD) series for those tankers.
The orders include fully integrated bridge set-up consisting of Transas Navi-Sailor 4000 MFD Dual ECDIS and Transas Navi-Radar 4000 X- and S-band radars; all systems to be fitted with 27" monitors in deck-mount consoles.
A number of Transas' single ECDIS units and radars have been delivered and installed in the past on-board NORDEN bulk carriers and these installations have paved the way for the new orders. The first installation of Dual ECDIS and radars will take place on-board the "NORD PRINCESS" during her docking in Europe in October 2010.
NORDEN was established in 1871. NORDEN's fleet is among the most modern and competitive in the industry. The company operates a mix of owned and chartered tonnage in total 147 dry cargo- (excluding single trip chartered vessels) and tanker vessels. In addition, NORDEN has a new building programme (dry cargo 44, tanker 6).
