Synapsis NX for Marflet tankers

Raytheon Anschütz today reports that it will supply Integrated Navigation Systems (INS) based on the new Synapsis NX architecture for two 50,000 dwt chemical / product tankers being built in Croatian shipyard 3. Maj for Spanish shipowner Marflet Marine.

In the Synapsis NX architecture, a Small Marine Computer serves as the standard hardware platform for all bridge applications. Software modules can be added to scale the workstation from a stand-alone workplace for radar or ECDIS up to an integrated multifunctional workstation. The new NautoPlex data collector completes the backbone of the network infrastructure.

Raytheon Anschütz says that the Synapsis INS will be delivered type-approved according to IMO´s new INS performance standards MSC.252(83) and IEC 61924-2.

For the two Marflet tankers, the German equipment manufacturer will supply four Synapsis multifunctional workstations, the new NautoScan NX network radar transceivers, the NautoSteer AS steering control system including NP 5000 autopilot system, as well as the complete sensor system and radio equipment.

In addition to this, Raytheon Anschütz says that it holds 14 contracts for Integrated Navigation Systems with the new Synapsis NX architecture, including container ships, offshore support vessels and anchor handling tugs.

The Synapsis INS, launched two years ago, integrates sensor data and other information such as AIS, NAVTEX, charts, radar and centralised alarm management.
