Primar Stavanger Distributes Italian ENCs

Primar Stavanger international electronic navigational chart service operated by the Norwegian Hydrographic Service is to distribute Italian ENCs following an agreement with the Italian Hydrographic Office . Since the organisation has been distributing French, Greek and Spanish ENCs for some time, introduction of Italian variants means that most of the northern Mediterranean will now be covered.

As with other Veripos global coverage, the new DGPS network permits computing of multiple reference station solutions for added reliability and precision.

Primar currently distributes more than 15,000 ENC’s from over a dozen nations and as reported in our last issue, its data will also now be included in the UK Hydrographic Office’s worldwide Admiralty Ecdis and ENC services as a result of a joint agreement announced in March.
