NORDEN, a shipping company from Denmark, 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 from
NORDEN. 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, established in 1871, operates a mix of owned and
chartered tonnage in total 147 dry cargo-
(excluding single trip chartered vessels) and tanker vessels.
In addition, they have a new building program (dry cargo 44, tanker
6). www.ds-norden.com
