Italian-German Electronic Chart Agreement
Italian electronic chart company Navionics and its German technology counterpart in Hamburg, SevenCs, are to collaborate in production and distribution of electronic charts for commercial shipping markets.
It will be formally opened by Michael Meacher, Minister for the Environment.
Navionics claims to have the most extensive database in the world of digital charts for the leisure boating market whilst SevenCs’ credentials include production of a specialist software engine used by many commercial ECDIS systems.
The two companies will create an electronic chart database for use on type-approved ECDIS systems aboard commercial vessels. It is already reportedly being distributed for coverage of Europe and North America with the promise of full world coverage later this year.
