'I'm happy to recommend Transas Navi-Radar 4000. Our ferries are operating between Denmark
and Sweden in the Sound. Annually there are 65 000 ferry crossings and 45 000 north- and south-
bound crossings. As a Master, I would say it is a heavy traffic, that is why we chose the Navi-Radar
4000. Our ferries are double ended, which demands special requirements. Our requests were fully
met by the Transas software team, that brilliantly shows the flexibility of this equipment.'
