Closest Point of Approach to target? Raymarine has its eyes firmly on commercial fleets with new IMO Type Approved radar systems.
Advanced solid-state radar solutions for international shipping, large workboats, superyachts, and inland commercial vessels are newly available from Raymarine Commercial. The Pathfinder CAT-1 Radar System is now IMO Type Approved - fully complying with IMO standards IEC 62288 and IEC 62388, and ideal for SOLAS vessels over 10,000 gross tons. The new Pathfinder Black Box Radar System offers a lightweight, cost-effective solution for inland and non-IMO vessels such as tugs, push boats, and fishing vessels under 500GT is ideal for inland commercial vessels not requiring IMO certification.
“We’re proud to bring Pathfinder to a wide range of commercial operators,” said Gregoire Outters, VP and General Manager of Raymarine. “Whether offshore or inland, these systems simplify installation, reduce maintenance, and elevate maritime safety.”
All Pathfinder radars use CHIRP pulse compression and beam sharpening technology, ensuring best-in-class target separation and long-range resolution. Their solid-state 6-foot open array features a fan-less design and simplified cabling, which reduces maintenance and installation complexity. The modern user interface offers intuitive controls with minimal distraction, while the compact black box architecture allows seamless integration with any HDMI monitor supporting 1920x1080 resolution. Pathfinder also supports Asterix CAT-240 output for integration with ECDIS, radar tracking, and naval systems.
Engineered for resilience, Pathfinder commercial radars have undergone over three years of testing, with each component subjected to rigorous environmental trials to ensure reliability and longevity. Raymarine’s commercial support for Pathfinder systems is available 24/7/365, ensuring minimal downtime for-critical operations.
