/ MScribe | Digital Course Recorder /

Make every course change easier to understand.

MScribe records the heading and steering information your installation provides and keeps it as a continuous, reviewable track. Channel selection matches the vessel’s connected sources, so a manoeuvre reads back exactly as it was steered.

/ THE STEERING RECORD /

What the bridge did, kept in order.

Every heading change recorded

MScribe records each change of heading as it happens, so a manoeuvre can be opened again afterwards and read turn by turn rather than recalled from memory.

Set heading against actual

The set heading is kept alongside the heading the vessel actually held, so the gap between the two stays visible across the whole passage.

How the rudder was used

Rudder movements are held on the same timeline, so it is possible to see afterwards how the helm was worked while the manoeuvre was being made.

Key Benefits

Digital recording of selected heading information.

Presentation of supported course and steering signals over time.

Recorded information for manoeuvre and operational review.

Channel selection matched to the vessel's connected sources.

Record course changes. Review manoeuvres.

MScribe records selected heading and supported steering signals to make vessel direction changes easier to review. Time-based records help bridge and technical teams reconstruct manoeuvres, compare operating conditions and discuss course-related events using information collected from the vessel's connected sources.
