INDEPENDENT owner of container ships, SeaSpan
Corporation, has placed an order with ChartCo to fit its navigation data
management system across the entire fleet after a period of evaluation and
trials.
London-based ChartCo will be installing its full software
suite, including PassageManager, and supplying paper and electronic chart
updates to each vessel. PassageManager allows the ChartCo subscriber to plot
routes, attach navigational products to those routes and then produce
comprehensive passage plans combining products, port and route data.
The software follows maritime best practice for creating
passage plans and can be tailored to meet the varying demands of bridge
procedures.
"We are extremely pleased that another prestigious
owner-manager such as SeaSpan has decided to work on a long term basis with
ChartCo. ChartCo has placed considerable investment into producing cutting edge
software and services for the management of important navigational data,"
said Steve Mariner, business development director. "SeaSpan was able to
see for themselves the benefits of PassageManager(tm) before committing to the
installation across their fleet."
Raj Dewan, director - procurement and technical services
of SeaSpan Ship Management Ltd added: "We looked closely at a few good
updating systems that are now available in the market and undertook exhaustive
sea trials. ChartCo stood out as being the most comprehensive and easy to use.
As we operate on a global basis with various crewing nationalities, usability
was a vital consideration. ChartCo's software, support and broad scope of
services are a perfect fit for our requirements."
ChartCo was formed in 1998 and now distributes data via
Broadcast, email and internet and currently has more than 5,900 subscribers.
