Core Business Areas

Danelec?s operations are structured around three primary pillars: Safety, Performance, and Connectivity.

1. Safety Solutions (VDR & S-VDR)

Danelec is one of the world's largest suppliers of Voyage Data Recorders (often called the "black boxes" of ships). Their systems are designed to record critical data from a ship's sensors and audio from the bridge to assist in accident investigation.

• DM100 VDR: The company?s flagship VDR system, designed for new builds and retrofits. It records data such as position, speed, radar images, and bridge audio.
• DM100 S-VDR (Simplified VDR): A version specifically designed for retrofitting on older cargo vessels, meeting international safety standards while remaining cost-effective.
• SWAP Technology?: A key differentiator for Danelec hardware is its proprietary "SoftWare Advanced Protection" (SWAP) technology. This design allows all system software and configuration data to be stored on a hot-swappable memory card. If a hardware unit fails, a technician can simply replace the hardware and insert the old memory card, forcing the new unit to instantly acquire the correct configuration without manual reprogramming.

2. Ship Performance Monitoring (Kyma)

Following the acquisition of Kyma, Danelec offers robust solutions for monitoring the mechanical and propulsion performance of vessels. These tools are critical for meeting environmental regulations like EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index) and CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator).

• Kyma Power Meter: A system that continuously measures torque, thrust, and revolutions (RPM) on the propeller shaft. This provides accurate data on the power actually being delivered to the propeller, which is essential for calculating fuel efficiency.
• ShaPoLi (Shaft Power Limitation): A compliant solution for the IMO's EEXI regulation. The system limits the maximum shaft power to a pre-set level to reduce emissions. It includes a "tamper-proof" override function that allows the crew to access full engine power in an emergency, recording the event for later verification.
• Danelec Onboard Insights: A software tool used by the crew (specifically Chief Engineers) to view real-time performance data. It helps identify issues like hull fouling or propeller inefficiency, allowing for immediate corrective action.

3. Connectivity and IoT (DanelecConnect)

Danelec provides the infrastructure to move data from the vessel to the cloud, enabling shore-side offices to analyze fleet operations.

• Danelec Collect (Vessel Remote Server): A hardware module that interfaces with the VDR and other onboard sensors. It acts as an IoT gateway, compressing and encrypting high-frequency data before transmitting it to shore via satellite or cellular networks.
• DanelecConnect: The cloud-based infrastructure that receives, stores, and manages the data collected from the fleet. It is "agnostic," meaning it can feed data into Danelec?s own dashboards or third-party application providers (APIs) for specialized analysis.
• Fleet Insights: A web-based platform for shore-side managers. It visualizes data regarding fuel consumption, route efficiency, and emissions, allowing operators to benchmark vessels against one another.

Services and Support

Danelec operates a "product-centric" service model but relies on a massive global network to deliver it.

• Global Service Network: The company utilizes a network of over 50 service partners and 700+ certified technicians worldwide, ensuring that vessels can receive support in almost any major port.
• Remote Management: Through DanelecConnect, technicians can often perform diagnostics, health checks, and even some pre-survey activities remotely, reducing the need for physical service calls.
