NAVTEX

NAVTEX (Navigational Telex) is an international automated service for broadcasting maritime safety information. It operates primarily on 518 kHz for English-language transmissions and provides vital updates such as navigational warnings, weather forecasts, and search-and-rescue alerts. Messages are received automatically by NAVTEX receivers on board, ensuring ships have up-to-date safety information without manual tuning. NAVTEX is a key component of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and is mandatory for most SOLAS-compliant vessels.

Furuno NX-900

The GMDSS-compliant NX900 NAVTEX Receiver automatically receives, displays, and sends critical data to navigation equipment such as ECDIS, including navigational and meteorological warnings, search and rescue (SAR) information, and more. A new 5.7” color LCD with a wide viewing angle enhances visibility in all conditions, and its simple, user-friendly UI ensures all important messages are clearly highlighted on the display. The improved sensitivity of the NX900 ensures clear message reception.

The NX900's dual IN/OUT serial ports along with a LAN port improves the unit's connectivity. The ability to connect via Ethernet makes interfacing the unit with the ECDIS simple, and safety messages along with critical georeferenced information can be displayed right on the chart, enhancing safety as well as efficient bridge management.

A highly demanded self-test function ensures the unit is fit for operation, enhancing and simplifying the vessel's maintenance and inspection needs. The optional PP900 External Printer allows the NX900 to be tailored to fit any bridge installation requirements.
