Contract for integrated navigation system
Example of the Synapsis INS on an offshore vessel
The 88m-long vessel with the class notation DNV NAUT-OSV is to be delivered in the second quarter of 2017. Norway's Havyard Design & Solutions AS is responsible for ship design and delivery of system packages. The Havyard 931 CCV design was specifically developed for Esvagt to provide fast and safe crew transportation.
Raytheon Anschütz said it would supply an INS with a total of nine Synapsis NX multifunctional workstations for chart radar, ECDIS and conning, as well as two network-based NautoScan NX radar transceivers.
The latest Synapsis NX generation is based on ultra-compact and powerful small marine computers that serve as the standard hardware platform for all bridge applications. Together with an innovative software framework as part of each workstation, this offers the highest flexibility to adapt the INS to a variety of ship types and owner requirements, according to Raytheon Anschütz. The scope is extended with a standard 22 gyro compass system and the adaptive, highly precise NP 5500 autopilot system, the company added.
The Synapsis INS will be delivered in accordance with IMO’s INS performance and test standards as specified in MSC.252(83) and IEC 61924-2, Raytheon Anschütz said.
