SKIPPER SD21 Speed Over Ground (SOG) Speed Log With Built in STW Sensor

The SKIPPER SD21 is a Single Axis Doppler Speed Log and a Dual Axis SATLOG Combined. It is designed to meet the IMO resolution MSC334(90) which require two separate speed logs for vessels above 50 000 dwt.

The SKIPPER SD21 gives accurate navigation parameters, measured as they happen, and presented in a logical, user-friendly way.

Types of Speed Logs

Electromagnetic — These devices, also called EM logs, rely on a coil in an electromagnetic sensor. When the AC current energizes the coil, it creates a magnetic field surrounding the sensor. As a vessel moves through the water, an electrical field running perpendicular to the magnetic field is produced. The sensor electrodes detect and deliver the resulting signal representing the ship’s speed to a preamplifier, which then converts it to a digital format for viewing. This process is inexpensive and has the advantage of not requiring any moving parts. However, water salinity and temperature can affect calibration. The water flow slows down closer to the hull due to friction, affecting measurements.

Pitometer — Also referred to as a pit log, the instrument uses the principle of differential pressure to determine an object’s speed through the water. It operates by submerging a Pitot tube with an opening at the base in water. While the tube is stationary, the pressure (known as static pressure) remains constant. When the tube starts moving past the water, it creates dynamic water pressure that varies based on the velocity.  The effect of static pressure is removed to obtain an accurate measurement of the dynamic pressure for calculating the speed. To achieve this, a second tube is installed near the first with an equivalent static pressure. Movement through water does not generate any dynamic pressure in the second tube. The difference between the pure dynamic and static pressure readings indicates the speed of the moving object.

Doppler — Doppler transducers rely on the Doppler frequency shift effect for estimating the speed of a moving body. A transducer produces high-frequency sound pulses toward both ends of a vessel using two transmitter windows. The reflected pulses are detected by two receiver windows located in the transducer. The time delay between the transmitted signals confirms the receipt of echoes from undisturbed water surrounding the object. The vessel’s fore/aft speed vector is estimated by processing the signal information. A pre-amplifier then transmits this information in a digital format.

Impeller — These logs function by attaching an impeller or paddle wheel to the bottom of a hull. They are employed on small yachts and other such vessels.

GPS (Global Positioning System) — A sensor accesses the GPS satellite signals to pinpoint an object’s speed, in both longitudinal and transverse directions. GPS receivers with integrated rate gyros and an antenna unit calculate the heading velocity, attitude, and course. The heading is then compared in relation to the vessel’s magnitude and direction of motion in the water. The information delivered by the satellites is processed by the system, integrating the velocity data with the longitudinal and transverse ground speeds of the vessel. Speed vectors combined with data related to the rate-of-turn assist in differentiating between the vessel’s translational and rotational movement. These are required for estimating the transverse speeds for both bow and stern as given on the docking display.
