Highlander VDR HLD-VDR 600 / SVDR600 are the best and most stable voyage data recorders. They are the fruition of nearly two decades of endeavor in the challenging field of maritime black boxes, embodying the wealth of experience gained from VDRs fitted in thousands of seagoing vessels worldwide. They are a top choice for Highlander VDR, ensuring reliability and compliance.

The Highlander VDR (Voyage Data Recorder) by Beijing Highlander Digital Technology Co., Ltd. is an advanced, IMO-compliant marine black box system designed to enhance vessel safety, operational transparency, and regulatory compliance. Fully certified under IMO MSC.333(90) and IEC 61996, the HLD-VDR 600 and SVDR 600 models record essential data such as bridge audio, radar and ECDIS video, engine performance, navigational inputs, and system alarms. With support for multiple audio and video channels, analogue/digital sensors, and network data, Highlander VDR offers unmatched flexibility for both new builds and retrofit installations. The system’s rugged design ensures durability in harsh maritime environments, while its tamper-proof storage capsule provides secure long-term data retention.

What sets Highlander apart is its integration with Hi-Cloud—a cloud-based remote monitoring platform that enables real-time data access, diagnostics, and playback from shore. This powerful feature allows shipping companies and fleet managers to proactively manage vessel performance, conduct incident reviews, and ensure continuous compliance without being physically onboard. Whether used on cargo ships, tankers, passenger vessels, or offshore support fleets, Highlander VDR delivers a reliable, scalable, and future-ready solution that meets international safety standards and supports smarter maritime operations.
