Jeppesen coverage grows in Asia

摘要

Last year, navigation chart specialist Jeppesen announced that it is now distributing official Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs) for Malaysia, adding to the company's worldwide ENC portfolio. Jeppesen can now distribute Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) ENCs for Malaysia from its local partner Okenos. Included in this newly available ENC coverage is the Strait of Malacca, one of the most important commercial waterways in the world, linking the major Asian economies of India, China, Japan, and South Korea. It is estimated that 25% of all oil transported by sea passes through the Strait of Malacca, notable for its shallow waters, narrow passages and heavy shipping traffic.
