Six Maritime Operating Environments

  • Container ship with a conceptual connectivity overlay

    Cargo and container vessels

    Bridge, engine room and cargo systems that share onboard networks, sensors and shore links on long voyages.

  • Vessel at sea at night with lit bridge windows

    Offshore support vessels

    Dynamic positioning, deck operations and communications where station keeping and redundancy shape every equipment decision.

  • Gas carrier under way at sea at dusk, shown as maritime context

    Tankers, LNG and LPG carriers

    Cargo monitoring, gas detection and hazardous-area equipment where zone classification decides what may be installed.

  • Engine room pipework, valves and pumps

    Shipyards and repair yards

    Retrofit, replacement and commissioning work where existing OEM systems, drawings and class surveys set the boundaries.

  • Engineer working at a vessel control room with monitoring screens

    Fleet management and shore offices

    Remote monitoring, reporting and secure shore connectivity between vessels and technical management teams.

  • Open marine network cabinet on a vessel with cabling and switches

    Port-marine and coastal operations

    Harbour craft, terminals and coastal sites where vessel and port technology meet.

    Engineering considerations:
    Certificate holder, exact part number, revision and validity against the class society and flag.
    Technology families:
    All equipment classes
    Action:
    State the class society, notation and flag.

  4. 04

    Shipboard IT/OT boundaries

    Problem:

    Segmentation, managed remote access, logging and whether IACS UR E26/E27 apply to the ship.
    Technology families:
    Cybersecurity & OT, Marine Servers & Computing
    Action:
    Note the contract date, newbuild or retrofit, and remote access needs.

  5. 05

    Hazardous areas on tankers and gas carriers

    Problem:

Standards and Requirements to Screen

  • SOLAS (Chapters IV and V)

    IMO convention covering radiocommunications and safety of navigation. Carriage requirements depend on vessel type, size, voyage and flag.

  • GMDSS

    Global Maritime Distress and Safety System under SOLAS Chapter IV. Required equipment depends on the sea areas the vessel operates in.

  • IEC 60945

    General requirements and test methods for maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment (environment and EMC). It is not a universal approval for all marine equipment.

  • IEC 61162 series

    Digital interfaces for navigation and radiocommunication equipment: Part 1 serial data (NMEA 0183 based, current edition 2024), Part 450 Ethernet, Part 460 network security.

  • IEC 60092 series

    Electrical installations in ships. The relevant part depends on the equipment and installation.

  • IEC 60533

    Electromagnetic compatibility of electrical and electronic installations in ships.

  • IACS UR E10

    IACS unified requirement for environmental test specification used in type approval of electrical and electronic equipment.

  • IACS UR E26 and E27 (Rev.1)

    Cyber resilience of ships and of onboard systems and equipment. They apply to ships contracted for construction on or after 1 July 2024, within the scope set by the class society.

  • Class and flag requirements

    Classification society rules and type approval (for example DNV, ABS, LR, BV, RINA) and flag-state requirements are checked for the exact part number, revision and vessel.

CE marking, type approval, EMC test reports, class acceptance and flag requirements are different things. One does not imply another. Requirements are assessed per vessel and per project, and the certificate for the exact item is requested from the manufacturer.

Latest and Emerging Maritime Technology

Maritime Technology — Questions and Answers

01

What maritime equipment can Novatelia source?

Equipment classes across marine networking, navigation, instrumentation, automation, satellite and radio, OT cybersecurity and electrical systems. The catalog on this page lists equipment classes, not stock items. Each request is checked for part number, availability and certificates.

02

Is Novatelia an authorized distributor for the brands listed?

No authorization is claimed on this page. The brands are research candidates for sourcing. Authorization, availability and support terms are confirmed per request.

03

Do you supply type-approved equipment?

Type approval belongs to the exact part number, revision and class society. We request the manufacturer certificate for the exact item. A product family name is not proof of approval.

04

Do IACS UR E26 and E27 apply to my vessel?

They apply to ships contracted for construction on or after 1 July 2024, within the scope set by the class society. For older ships, class and owner requirements decide. Include the contract date in the RFQ.

05

Do you install equipment or certify it with class?

This page covers sourcing and engineering review. Installation, commissioning, radio surveys and class certification are not promised here and are arranged only when agreed in writing with qualified parties.

06

What should I include in a marine RFQ?

Vessel type, location on board, manufacturer and model if known, quantity, delivery location and date, and certificate needs. Vessel name and IMO number help but are optional. Never send passwords or system credentials.
