Chart agents working with UKHO on e-Navigator

Todd is collaborating with UKHO on the released Fleet Manager module of the Admiralty e-Navigator product. The module allows Todd to view and order all the digital products onboard the vessels to which it supplies Admiralty Digital Products (ADP), Admiralty Vector Chart Service (AVCS) and ARCS.

The company says that UKHO is working collaboratively with a number of approved distributors and major shipping companies to roll-out the software in shore-based and seaborne environments before general release early in 2011. Admiralty e-Navigator is a computer-based navigation information system designed and developed by UKHO; according to Todd, Admiralty e-Navigator Planning Station enables mariners to view, select and order all the charts and publications needed to plan effective voyages. The company claims that they ultimately save time and money as the system calculates the most cost effective way to get from port to port.

Admiralty e-Navigator is said to allow instant access to all Admiralty navigation tools and data, as well as other popular maritime products including Paper Chart Updating modules, ENC updating, Maris Weather Manager, Lloyds Register Fairplay World Ports Guide, and DNV Navigator.

Capt William Todd from Todd said: “Admiralty e-Navigator is set to make life easier and simpler for our marine customers – both at sea and ashore in the office. It also aims to assist shipowners in getting their Fleets ready for implementation of the ECDIS Mandate beginning in 2012. At Todd we are committed to assisting our customers in the move towards electronic navigation, and we are extremely pleased to be part of this product development”.
