Raymarine Pathfinder 24 Dual Professional ECDIS system w/ redundant architecture

Raymarine Pathfinder 24 Dual professional ECDIS system with dual navigation station, 24-inch ECDIS displays and redundant architecture for critical maritime operations.

The Raymarine Pathfinder 24 ECDIS Dual is an advanced professional ECDIS solution, designed for command bridges that require operational redundancy, continuity of service and maximum functional safety. This configuration represents the natural evolution of the Pathfinder 24 system, aimed at environments where electronic navigation is a critical element of the operation.

The system is conceived as a dual architecture, incorporating two independent ECDIS stations, each based on a 24-inch Pathfinder ECDIS display. This arrangement allows simultaneous operation from two command positions, as well as operational continuity in the event of any issue with one of the systems, reinforcing the overall safety of the bridge.

Each station integrates its own processing capability, control via a professional keyboard with trackball, and connection to the data collection unit (DCU), guaranteeing robust and consistent management of the navigation information. The duplication of key elements provides a high level of resilience, in line with the usual requirements of professional vessels and 24/7 operations.

The 24" ECDIS displays offer WUXGA resolution (1920 × 1200 pixels) and high brightness of 1300 nits, ensuring clear and precise viewing in all types of lighting conditions. Their fanless design, optimised thermal management and IPx6/IPx7 rating make them especially suitable for demanding maritime environments.

The Dual system facilitates advanced electronic chart management, route monitoring, alarm supervision and integration with other ship systems. It also incorporates professional network connectivity and chart synchronisation solutions, enabling consistent operation between both stations.

The Pathfinder 24 ECDIS Dual is intended to be integrated as the core of the navigation system on complex command bridges, enabling connection with sensors, radars, AIS, GNSS systems, VDR and other professional navigation equipment.
