PRE OWNED SPERRY MARINE VMFT SPERRY MARINE VISION MASTER FT MARINE ECDIS

The Sperry Marine VisionMaster FT (VMFT) ECDIS is a highly versatile, IMO-compliant navigation system known for its modular design and "TotalWatch" multi-function capabilities. In the Bhavnagar and Alang markets, the VMFT series is particularly valued for its easy upgrade path—allowing a standard ECDIS station to be transformed into a Chart Radar or a full multi-node workstation with a simple software key.

SPERRY MARINE VISIONMASTER FT (VMFT) ECDIS

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Sperry Marine VisionMaster FT ECDIS is designed to simplify complex navigational tasks through a human-centered interface and high-speed data processing. Built on the successful BridgeMaster E legacy, the VMFT series offers one of the most flexible configurations in the industry, available in deck-standing, tabletop, or "Black Box" (kit) formats. Its signature feature is the ability to display charts in multiple formats (S-63, S-57, Direct ENC, and C-MAP) while maintaining a clean, uncluttered presentation.

The system emphasizes safety and situational awareness, offering an optional high-performance radar overlay that integrates live radar video directly onto the electronic chart. This correlation of radar targets with AIS data minimizes identification errors and streamlines the watch-standing process. Whether installed as a standalone unit or as part of a networked Integrated Bridge System (IBS), the VMFT ECDIS ensures that critical navigational data is always available at a glance.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- TotalWatch Multi-Functionality: Allows the operator to toggle between ECDIS, Radar, and Conning Information Display (CID) modes on any workstation in a networked system.

-- Advanced Radar Overlay: Integrates live radar echoes onto the chart without obscuring primary navigational data, greatly improving collision avoidance.

-- AIO (Admiralty Information Overlay): Displays T&P (Temporary & Preliminary) Notices to Mariners as an additional layer on the ENC, ensuring the crew is aware of the latest hazards.

-- User Profiles: Individual officers can save their own personalized display settings (e.g., specific alarm limits, chart layers, and color modes) to be recalled on any VMFT station.

-- Built-in IAMSAR Search Patterns: Includes integrated search-and-rescue patterns that can be automatically converted into a monitored route, assisting in emergency operations.

-- Predictive Vectoring: Features a "Predicted Ship" tool that shows a graphical projection of the vessel’s future path, assisting in precise maneuvering and docking.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Our refurbished VMFT ECDIS units from Alang undergo a comprehensive technical overhaul. We focus on the VisionMaster PC, verifying the motherboard integrity and testing the Solid State Drive (SSD) for reliable data retrieval. The LCD Monitor is calibrated for color fidelity (essential for night mode safety), and the Control Interface (Trackball) is tested for mechanical precision. We also verify the SC3 or PCIO cards for signal stability when processing radar video and NMEA data, ensuring the system is ready for immediate bridge integration.
