{mprestriction ids="1,2"}NavStation was launched in 2014, and is used to manage voyage information such as charts, routes, weather and tidal data. Its most recent previous update earlier this year, version 4.0, added a Passage Planning module to automate data input, reduce human error and share planned routes across fleets.
“This latest 4.1 release marks another leap forward,” said NAVTOR CEO Tor Svanes.
“AENPs, essentially electronic versions of UKHO’s market leading ADMIRALTY Nautical Publications, are essential tools for providing easy access to accurate and comprehensive maritime data. By integrating them into NavStation we continue the process of streamlining all vital navigational information into one interface – with everything a navigator needs at their fingertips.”
“Bridge officers can now seamlessly register, access, licence and update all AENPs from within NavStation – meaning they don’t have to switch from software to software. This makes it easier to ensure their vessels are always fully compliant, with the very latest publications for their operational needs.”
UKHO currently offers a range of some 87 AENPs, with titles including Sailing Directions, Ocean Passages for the World, the Nautical Almanac, and the Mariner’s Handbook, which are approved for use by the Flag States of over 80 per cent of ships trading internationally.{/mprestriction}
