Jotron has again showed their ability to develop a new mandatory product concept. Tron S-VDR CAPSULE is a combination between a full GMDSS EPIRB and S-VDR final storage medium (FRM).

Jotron is the first company in the world who received a full type approval on the new S-VDR float-free storage medium. Tron S-VDR CAPSULE complies with IMO`s international requirements for S-VDR systems, concerning the final recording medium.

This product will allow you to avoid high cost for underwater search for the FRM. The Tron S-VDR CAPSULE wil keep the S-VDR information available at the surface even if the vessel goes down.

Installation requirement (draft)
IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) has with its Resolution MSC.163(78), made a draft amendment to Solas Regulation V/20:
"To assist the casualty investigations, the existing cargo ships, when engaged on international voyages, subject to the provisions of regulation 1.4, shall be fitted with a VDR which may be a simplified voyage data recorder (S-VDR) as follows:

1. In the case of cargo ships of 20,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed before 1 July 2002, at the first schedule dry-docking after 1 July 2006 but not later than 1 July 2009.

2. In the case of cargo ships of 3,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed before 1 July 2002, at the first schedule dry-docking after 1 July 2007 but not later than 1 July 2010.
