Australian and New Zealand nautical charts

The Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) is responsible for providing Australia’s national charting service under the terms of the UN Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention and the Navigation Act. LINZ is the New Zealand’s hydrographic authority that is responsible for providing official hydrographic information for navigational purposes.

Japanese nautical charts

The Japanese Coast Guard produces nautical charts to cover the Japanese coasts, Pacific and Indian Oceans and their adjacent seas.

AVCS

The Admiralty Vector Chart Service (AVCS) brings together electronic navigational charts (ENCS) from national hydrographic offices around the world and new ENC coverage produced by UKHO in co-operation with foreign governments to provide comprehensive, official, worldwide coverage.

ARCS

ARCS charts are exact digital copies of the world-leading BA charts. ARCS complements the British Admiralty paper chart series to provide first-class electronic navigation that greatly improves safety.

ENCs for use within ECDIS

ENCs are official vector-based electronic charts, designed to meet the relevant chart carriage requirements of the SOLAS convention for use within ECDIS.

TADS

Transas Admiralty Data Service (TADS) delivers official chart data and information directly to your ECDIS and helps you prepare for paperless navigation.

Navigational updates by email and satellite

The satellite Novaco Courier sends digital notices to mariners (NTMs) and chart correction tracings for the British Admiralty, US NIMA, and the Japanese and Australian and Hydrographic Offices. It is completely independent of other communication systems on board such as Inmarsat and VSAT.

Novaco Bridge G2 is an email-based chartroom management tool. It helps officers organise their inventory of charts and publications, monitor the currency of their editions and automatically identify update information, relevant to their inventory, from each weekly edition of NTMs through email at compressed data size.

Admiralty Digital Publications

Admiralty Digital Publications provide industry-leading Admiralty nautical publications in digital form including Admiralty Total Tide, Digital List of Lights and Digital List of Radio Signals.

ECDIS

Navi-Sailor 4000 ECDIS is designed in full compliance with the latest IMO, IHO and IEC standards and resolutions. It is a navigation information system that displays information from navigation sensors on the electronic navigational chart. The system is designed to assist the mariner in route planning and monitoring. The combination of all data on a single display allows for a high level of situational awareness and onboard decision making. Using a standalone ECDIS requires a full paper chart collection in use as backup arrangement to fulfill the carriage requirements.
