PC Maritime says it has has enabled the necessary outputs from its ECDIS, Navmaster, so that it is compatible with all VDR units conforming to the new standards.

The Navmaster upgrades are free to subscribers to PC Maritime’s Upgrade & Support Contract. They are sent to the ship by e-mail and can be installed by the crew.
