Sperry Marine and NAVTOR have teamed up to launch a new integrated e-navigation solution aimed at improving cyber security and reducing the administration associated with chart updates and route planning.
Sperry Marine Navigation Charts and Voyage Planning is the latest service addition to the SperrySphere platform which provides navigators with all critical voyage information in one integrated application.
“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,” said Tor Svanes, managing director, NAVTOR.
“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 new system analyses the planned route and compares navigation data with the vessel’s water and air draught and other specifications.
Manual planning is reduced thanks to automatic update and distribution of permits and the ENC chart service simplifies workflow through the use of NAVTOR’s NavTracker chart management and ordering tool.
The PAYS model enables shipowners to better manage their costs with no need to pay for unused charts and Sperry Marine’s Secure Maritime Gateway provides multiple firewalls and a zone between front and back of bridge to enhance cyber security.
The Charts and Voyage Planning module is deployed and managed through the SperrySphere smart navigation platform, a one-stop-shop back-of-bridge digital platform incorporating operations and remote support.
