In addition to storing all data required in accordance with the IMO regulations, the system also allows the integration of
many other interfaces. A central replay system, to which all data are sent, allows analysis and, if necessary, the taking of
preventative measures. Over a period of time the data can be used as a basis for realistic and objective analysis,
statistics and forecasts of retentive value and ship safety. All interfaces developed for the MER-SVDR can be
installed on request.
