Smart Ship Viewer (SSV)

Ship Monitoring Service

This ship monitoring service*1 allows you to browse the movements of managed ships and the status of JRC equipment from the management company office. This service also contributes to efficient navigation management and avoidance of unexpected equipment problems. To use this service, a combination of JRC's VDR and J-Marine NeCST is fundamentally recommended as the configuration.
*1: The information that can be monitored varies according to t he configuration of the equipment that are installed. However, the service is partially available with JRC equipment only.

VDR Data Download Service

This service*2 allows you to obtain data that is stored in JRC's VDR/S-VDR (ship speed, steering, engine information, etc.), which is installed in the ship, from the land via J-Marine Cloud. The data that is obtained can be reproduced by using the VDR Real Time Monitor software* 3. This service contributes to confirmation of navigation status of the ships and checking of the condition of any accident quickly without the need for any intervention of the crew upon occurrence of the accident. To use this service, JRC's VDR is required.
*2: To use this service, JCY-1900 or S-VDR JCY-1950 is required.
*3: Dedicated software of JRC, attached to VDR/S-VDR as the standard, Please contact us.

Data Sharing Service

By storing navigational plan t hat are created by using J-Marine NeCST in J-Marine Cloud, this service enables sharing of the information with J-Marine NeCST of other ships. The s ervice allows the workload reduction for situations such as creating a navigational plan along the same route. To use this service, J-Marine NeCST is required. *1: The information that can be monitored varies according to t he configuration of the equipment that are installed. However, the service is partially available with JRC equipment only.

New Feature（Implemented in April 2022）

Course Deviation Monitoring Feature

In the past, the on-board ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) was the only way to confirm if a ship was off course and to receive other alerts, but this new feature can be used to confirm the ship status even from the onshore side (SSV Mobile or SSV display screen). In the event of an anomaly, the ship can be contacted from the onshore side immediately, thereby helping to prevent accidents and respond quickly to other issues.

Decision Method

Specifically, there are two ways to link with the onshore side depending on the installed equipment (both features can be used for certain installed equipment).

1. 1

   Cloud-based

   This is Recommended when you want to strictly control and be notified of any signs of course deviation.

   A cloud server calculates whether the current position of the ship (GPS position information) that is uploaded to the cloud is outside the preset route width. The route width can also be set by the onshore side operator, which is recommended when you want to strictly control and be notified of any signs of course deviation.

2. 2

   BAM Information-based Detection

   This is also recommended when you want this information together with depth alerts and the other data shown in the following table.

   This is detection based on the cross track information from the ECDIS that is contained in the BAM (Bridge Alert Management) information, and this is also recommended when you want this information together with depth alerts and the other data shown in the following table.

New Feature（Implemented in April 2022）

Distance and Other Measurement Features

Three new features for managing the ship on the map are now available: measuring the distance and bearing between two points on the map, measuring the area and perimeter distance of a specified area on the map, and measuring the distance like an EBL and VRM. These features can be used to check the distance from the shoreline or other ships when the onshore side operator is monitoring the status, contributing to hazard prediction.

*EBL (Electronic Bearing Line): Used to measure the bearing to a target object.
**VRM (Variable Range Marker): Used to measure the exact distance to a target object.

New Feature（Implemented in April 2022）

Data Download Feature

The sensor information of each ship that is stored in the cloud can be downloaded in CSV format. This feature contributes to situational analysis, such as factor investigation, in the event of an accident.

Playback feature

It combines camera images, sensor information and Voyage information on J-Marine NeCST (route planning, user charts etc.). It is easy to obtain the situation at the time of arrival and departure or scenes that need to be reviewed. In addition, playback data can be download and displayed from SSV which is web application enables checking at any time the status of managed ships from the management company office.

Expanded functions（Implemented in April 2022）

The camera frame can now be zoomed in and out.
In addition to the conventional features of displaying camera images and the ship's position and track,
this feature also enables playback of AIS and sensor information acquired by the ship.

Information distribution feature

It allows land-based operators to send information to onboard J-Marine NeCST from SSV. It has made operator pushing navigational information to ENCs which are displayed on J-Marine NeCST. It provides easy shore-to-ship communication of instead of distribution by email and checking it with ECDIS. Furthermore, it also applies to playback data and allow you to share it with fleet each other.

Expanded functions（Implemented in April 2022）

When distributing information, this feature enables selection of the receiver and also checking of the estimated time required for distribution to each ship before starting distribution. This also enables the user to adjust when information will be distributed. It is also possible to check the distribution history and distribution status.

SSV Mobile

With this application, you can easily receive and share emergency information from the ship to support to make a quick response and a right decision anytime and anywhere.
Lists of managed ships can be displayed.Not just the ship names, latest received time of date, and the latitude/longitude, but also whether emergencies have occurred and the conditions of JRC marine products equipped on ships can be monitored.
Working with the emergency function of J-Marine NeCST equipped on the ship, the emergency notification function and the messaging will allow the occurrence of emergencies at the ship to be shared quickly, while message exchanges with the ship will also enable countermeasures to be taken promptly.

Expanded functions（Implemented in April 2022）

In addition to the conventional features of displaying a list of managed ships and notification and chat features for emergencies, it is now possible to visually check the ship's position, route, route width, track, and AIS information on the map.

SSV Mobile Screen

* SSV service account is required preliminarily.
* The ship must be equipped with J-Marine NeCST.
