UKHO Chart Data helps with Arklow savings

摘要

Short-sea dry cargo specialist Arklow Shipping is increasing its use of ECDIS in step with a major fleet expansion programme. Apart from seeing a cost saving of around 10-15% per year, investing in ECDIS has allowed Arklow to respond to changing trading patterns and cope with the pressure on manpower. The competitive short-sea market calls for flexibility, which comes as standard with ECDIS. Using the Admiralty Vector Chart Service from the UKHO, Arklow ships have the complete chart database preloaded, with new charts and folios available on demand.
