The RUTTER Story Centuries ago, ships' navigational officers used small books called ‘rutters' to record their detailed observations of voyages and assist them in navigating the world.
The rutter was the navigator's most prized possession. Noted within its pages were the aspects of the journey necessary for them to retrace their voyage safely. Our ‘flagship' product – the Voyage Data Recorder – is a modern version of these rutters, recording the critical elements of a ship's voyage.
