    VDRs and S-VDRs record information about a vessel to help identify the cause of accidents, similar to black boxes on airplanes. VDRs record data on a vessel's position, movement, status and commands. Since July 2002, passenger and cargo ships over 3,000 GT must have a VDR, while older cargo ships can have a simpler S-VDR, both intended to assist accident investigations.

    VDR or S-VDR?

    Like black boxes carried on aircrafts, Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs)


    enable accident investigators to review procedures and instructions in
    the moments before an incident and help to identify the cause of any
    accident.
    VDR systems are designed to record and store information concerning
    the position, movement, physical status and command and control of a
    vessel.
    Passenger ships and cargo vessels of 3.000 GT and above constructed
    on or after July 1, 2002 must carry a VDR to assist in accident
    investigations, while on cargo ships of 3.000 GT and above which were
    built before July 1, 2002 a Simplified VDR (S-VDR) is accepted to be
    fitted for the same purpose.
