Attention:
The EM-Log is operated by ship's command only.
Summary
The SKIPPER Compact EML224 is a single or dual axis speed log, working on the electromagnetic principle, providing longitudinal and transversal ship’s speed relative to sea water. The Compact EML224 gives accurate navigation parameters, measured as they happen, and presented in a logical, user friendly way. The system is going to be upgraded to EML1200 in WLZ 2026.
