Integrated technology streamlines voyage planning

摘要

Automated electronic navigational chart (ENCs) updates combined with weather, ocean data and passage planning advice allows officers to spend more time monitoring voyages and supervising ship operations. New ECDIS products and updates were released in Q2 2019 to improve voyage planning, automated ENC management and safe navigation. Navico subsidiary C-Map introduced version 2.1 of its integrated maritime suite (IMS) for navigational chart and publication management in June. This streamlines voyage planning and nautical information management with a new NauticalManager module enabling quantitative analysis of weather and navigational considerations for route planning.
