Norway’s NAVTOR has signed a distribution agreement with the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) for the supply of the Admiralty Vector Chart Service for the global professional maritime market.
NAVTOR will also offer the total package of Admiralty Digital Publications as a part of the agreement.
NAVTOR managing director Tor A. Svanes was very influential in the development of ECDIS and ENCs within the maritime industry and was the founder of C-MAP Norway.
The ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) will be the central navigation console aboard ships once the IMO mandate comes into force during the period from 2012 to 2018.
