1 Introduction Cobham SATCOM is pleased to launch the new SAILOR 6391 Navtex System and SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver, which sets new standards for the SOLAS Navtex market. The SAILOR Navtex builds on the long tradition of quality, reliability, robustness and user friendliness known from other SAILOR products in the market. Being a long time leader in radio communication products for the professional user, introducing the SAILOR 639x Navtex is a natural addition to the SAILOR product range. Build on the long legacy and technology knowhow of the SAILOR radio products, the SAILOR 639x Navtex is a true SAILOR product. The product is 100 % in-house developed and made on the basis of the same fundamental virtues as all SAILOR products. The SAILOR 639x Navtex is the second product (SAILOR 628x AIS System being the first) in a new series of new SAILOR products which are 100 % network integrated. Build on a “Black Box” Navtex receiver connected via LAN to a 7” touch display or INS it gives the user complete mobility in the installation. We will build further on this concept making even more SAILOR products accessible on the one touch display. Similar to using your smartphone, you will be able to switch function by activating the different applications (Apps) on the display. This concept will truly revolutionize the daily work on any bridge. Based on the cutting edge technology and its innovative user interface we expect the new SAILOR 639x Navtex to become a primary product in the SAILOR product range.

3 Navtex – An introduction

3.1 Navtex in brief Navtex is an acronym for Navigational Telex. The Navtex system consists of several coast stations transmitting Navigational, Meteorological, Search & Rescue, ice warnings etc. on predetermined frequencies in predetermined time slots. As the coast stations transmit at very high power and at medium frequency, the range is quite long. Hence, the world has been divided into different navigational areas (Navareas) depicted on Figure 1.

Figure 1: Navareas of the world

For reception of Navtex messages in e.g. Danish waters, ‘Navarea I’ should be chosen. Inside each Navarea, several coastal transmitters exist. These transmitters are categorized by letters, unique inside the Navarea. In Navarea I water as an example, the following coast stations could be chosen (example):

Country Station name ID Range [nm]

Sweden Gislovshammer J 300

Sweden Grimeton I 300

Norway Jeløya M 450

Norway Rogaland L 450


www.cobham.com 5

The above mentioned coast stations all transmit on the international Navtex frequency, which is 518kHz – all messages are in English. The Navtex system consists of a total of three global frequencies:

518 kHz – International Navtex messages (MUST listen) 490 kHz – National Navtex messages (national language) 4209.5 kHz – National Navtex messages (national language)

A GMDSS approved Navtex receiver must listen to at least two frequencies at the same time – one must always be 518 kHz. Some Coast stations also send out MSI (Maritime Safety Information) on other frequencies formatted like Navtex messages. These stations are not Navtex obligatory, but may be received on equipment able to decode Navtex messages – given the frequency can be selected.

3.2 Navtex SOLAS requirements As a mandatory SOLAS product the market for a new SAILOR Navtex is to some extend set. A certified Navtex receiver has been mandated as a shipboard carriage requirement for vessels under the revised Chapter IV of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (as amended) (SOLAS 74) regulation 7.4

3.3 ITU Radio Regulations 2012 International NAVTEX system: “Maritime safety information shall be transmitted by means of narrow-band direct-printing telegraphy with forward error correction using the frequency 518 kHz in accordance with the international NAVTEX system. The frequency 490 kHz may be used, after full implementation of the GMDSS, for the transmission of maritime safety information by means of narrow-band direct-printing telegraphy with forward error correction. The frequency 4209.5 kHz is used exclusively for NAVTEX-type transmission by means of narrow-band direct-printing telegraphy with forward error correction.”

3.4 Navtex Messages Each Navtex message is categorized according to which category of content it carries. Some of these messages must be received and presented to the user – others are voluntarily received.


www.cobham.com 6

Message categories:

Message ID Description

A Navigational warnings (must receive)

B Meteorological warnings (must receive)

C Ice reports

D Search & rescue information, and pirate warnings (must receive)

4 SAILOR 639x Navtex products

4.1 SAILOR 6391 Navtex System The SAILOR 6391 Navtex System (406391A-00500) is a system combining two SAILOR units:

SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver SAILOR 6004 Control Panel

With its LAN interface the Navtex receiver and the display can be separated, giving access to the Navtex information available where it is needed.

4.2 SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver The SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver receives Navtex messages on the international Navtex frequencies 490 kHz, 518 kHz and 4,209.5 kHz. The SAILOR 6390 Navtex receiver is a “black box receiver” which can either be connected to the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel, a 7" touch screen or to the INS system. When ordering the SAILOR 6391 Navtex System both the SAILOR 6390 Navtex receiver and the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel is delivered. The “black box” (SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver) receiver can however be used as a standalone unit for integration in an INS, supporting IEC 61162-1 (NMEA0183) or LAN.


www.cobham.com 7

It must be noted that the INS equipment and the connection in between has to be type approved as a NAVTEX solution. A printer can be connected to the receiver using LAN or the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel.

4.3 Approvals and Standards The SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver is approved for use on board SOLAS vessels for compliance to the carriage requirements listed in the convention for Safety of Life at Sea 1974, as amended. The SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver is approved to be in compliance to the IMO performance standards for Navtex receiver: Resolution MSC 148(77), MSC 36(63) (HSC Code), MSC 97(73) (HSC Code), and A.694(17) SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver is approved to MED 2012/32/EU and complies to the requirements in the following standards: IEC-60945 (2002), IEC-60945 Corrigendum 1 (2008), IEC-61097-6 (2005-12), IEC-61162-1 (2010-11) (aligned with NMEA 0183 version 4.00), ITU-T X.27/V.11 (1996) The SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver is approved to SOLAS Regulations IV/7, IV/14: ITU-R M.540-2 (06/90) and ITU-R M.625-3 (10/95). The SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver is approved to FCC Equipment class: RNV, Part 80 NAVTEX Receiver 80.1101(c)(1).

4.4 SAILOR 6004 Control Panel

The SAILOR 6004 Control Panel can be used as the user interface for the SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver. The user interface is in English. All settings that are relevant for the user are accessed through the touch panel. Alarms and notifications are shown in the display. The SAILOR 6004 Control Panel has a buzzer for alarm tones. The display supports night mode. The SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver includes the Navtex application which is loaded into the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel during installation.

4.4.1 Stand-alone unit with an INS

The SAILOR 6390 Navtex receiver will also work as a stand-alone unit, integrated in the vessel’s INS. It supports the Navtex specific NMEA sentences according to the standard IEC 61097–6 and IEC 61162-1. For further details see the documentation of the INS in question.

4.5 Installation The SAILOR 6390 Navtex receiver is made for easy installation. Made as a “proper” maritime product it can of course be installed with “proper” maritime cables. The Control Unit and the receiver are divided into two units. By using a “Black Box” receiver the space needed on the bridge is much smaller than a combined solution. The interface between the Navtex receiver and the control unit is made through a LAN connection (ThraneLINK compatible). The operation is done using the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel. In principle the user interface is an “APP”, running on the touch display. By activating the Navtex icon on the touch display, the user can interact with the system.

4.6 Antenna suggestions You can fit a suitable active or passive antenna for Navtex reception. We recommend you use an active antenna suitable for tri-band Navtex reception if the environment allows it. Suitable antennas are: • Navcom NA 3S • Procom NTA 3E-SHT • Sirius A159 or similar.

5 The Future is here – Multifunction displays When the necessary approvals are in house, more “Black Box” units can be operated through one SAILOR 6004 Control Unit. In the near future e.g. both the SAILOR 628x AIS System and the new SAILOR 6390 Navtex can be operated on the same SAILOR 6004 Control Panel – simply by activating the individual App. This will give the SAILOR solution a major competitive edge in the market saving space on the bridge, giving a complete mobility of the applications and of course making the solution very price competitive in the market. Below is an example of such a network installation. Both 7” displays will be able to function as Control Unit for both the SAILOR AIS System and the SAILOR Navtex.
