Anschütz completed refit of Integrated Navigation System for RRS Sir David Attenborough
Since entering service in 2021, the polar research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough has been equipped with navigation systems from Anschütz. As part of a recent refit, Anschütz has now supplied the vessel with a new, state-of-the-art SYNAPSIS NX Integrated Navigation System (INS), along with upgrades to the radar systems. The new technology enhances the stability and performance of the bridge system, supporting safe navigation even under the most challenging polar conditions.
Built by British shipyard Cammell Laird, the RRS Sir David Attenborough is among the world’s most advanced polar research vessels. Measuring 129 metres in length, the vessel operates in Antarctica under the stringent requirements of Polar Code ice class 4 and the LR NAV1 IBS notation.
Following the initial delivery of navigation systems in 2017, Anschütz has now completed a comprehensive refit of both the radar systems and the INS. This included the installation of the latest generation of compact marine computers and software upgrades. Five multifunctional workstations were equipped with the newest edition of the SYNAPSIS software, offering improved user-friendliness and enhanced system stability.
The updated software provides the bridge with improved situational awareness and
