FURUNO DS-60 Doppler Sonar

FURUNO DS-60 Doppler Sonar

The FURUNO DS60 is designed to provide the required information for berthing and docking vessels 50,000 GT+, such as container vessels, VLCC and other tankers; complying with IMO standards.

Description

The Furuno DS-60 provides accurate information of ship’s speed over a wide range. Speeds are detected relative to the ground or water for both fore-aft and port-starboard directions. The measurement capability at dead slow speed is vital for precise docking of huge tankers to oil loading/unloading facilities, as well as safe navigation in narrow channels or straits. Operation at high-speed assists economical cruising in open seas.

While retaining the measurement accuracy of the Furuno DS-30, the Furuno DS-60 provides a greatly downsized transducer unit. This means that the time for installation and space required for installation will be reduced. The compact, high-frequency transducer measures ship’s longitudinal (fore-aft) and transverse (port-starboard) speed, as well as water speed and direction under the hull.
