Ship data logger MScribe

Every course change and every target, on one record.
MScribe AIS keeps a continuous record of how the ship was steered and of the traffic around it. Heading, rudder and autopilot are drawn on one live timeline, and the AIS picture is recorded alongside it — so a manoeuvre can be reviewed exactly as it happened.

MScribe AIS is a digital course and AIS recorder built on the SEALINK 5200 bridge platform. It replaces the mechanical course recorder with a continuous digital record of heading, set heading, rudder angle, rudder order and autopilot state — and adds what a classic course recorder never had: the AIS traffic picture around the vessel, recorded and replayable alongside own-ship's own track. Rudder response, autopilot mode, cross-track error and the position of every nearby target can be reviewed together after a manoeuvre, a close-quarters situation or an incident. Everything runs on a 5” capacitive touch display with AG/AF coating that integrates into the existing bridge network over standard NMEA 0183, with a dedicated Bridge Alert Management channel and USB-C for backup and software updates.
