The Charts and Voyage Planning module is deployed and managed by way of SperryMarine’s SperrySphere back-of-bridge sensible navigation platform.
Sperry Marine has partnered with Egersund, Norway-headquartered NAVTOR to launch Sperry Marine Navigation Charts and Voyage Planning.
Designed to optimize vessel security and effectivity, the service supplies an built-in e-navigation answer that reduces administration related to chart updates and route planning and improves cyber safety.
The service—the newest addition to the SperrySphere platform—leverages NAVTOR’s award-winning service, designed to scale back gas prices, assist compliance with environmental laws and scale back workload for navigators by offering all important voyage data in a single built-in utility.
The system analyzes the deliberate route and compares navigation information with the vessel’s water and air draft and different specs to make sure full security from berth to berth.
With databases and permits mechanically distributed and up to date seamlessly, the massive variety of administration hours and the chance of human error throughout guide planning may be lowered.
The ENC chart service simplifies workflow for fleet managers and navigators and supplies full management and accessibility over charts with Navtor’s NavTracker chart administration and ordering instrument. This permits shipowners to reap the benefits of a variety of knowledge subscription fashions, together with PAYS (pay-as-you-sail), to fulfill every vessel’s particular wants.
The PAYS mannequin permits shipowners to extra precisely handle their purchases prices without having to pay for unused charts.
Cyber safety protocols are enforced by Sperry Marine’s Secure Maritime Gateway which makes use of a number of firewalls and a “demilitarized zone” as a staging publish between back and front of bridge to make sure there isn’t a direct connection between the navigation programs and the ship’s most important IT community.
“We believe e-navigation is the future of shipping because we truly understand the problems of wasted time, unnecessary workload and lack of integration when using paper charts and manual voyage planning,” mentioned NAVTOR managing director Tor Svanes. “This partnership with Sperry Marine will deliver an integrated solution, ensuring customers unlock the full potential of e-Navigation in a smart, safe and simple way.”
The Charts and Voyage Planning module is deployed and managed by way of the SperrySphere sensible navigation platform. This is a one-stop-shop back-of-bridge digital platform which manages supply of all kinds of security and voyage optimisation purposes and a roadmap together with distant assist and diagnostics of navigation tools.
“NAVTOR and Sperry Marine are global leaders in digital navigation solutions and by combining our expertise we can ensure that charts and routes can be securely and automatically updated using the Secure Maritime Gateway,” mentioned James Collett, managing director, Sperry Marine. “We not only aim to improve the vessel’s cyber security performance; the SperrySphere will be the platform we use to deliver, smarter, safer digitally-enabled navigation to our customers.”
