ENC’s and Dynamic Licensing All chartsts, updates and licenses available onboard and ready for use. ENC’s licensed as required When you need a chart it is available immediately Licenses for new and replaced charts transferred automatically via C-MAP Update Service Automatic reporting of usage via the C-MAP Update Service Controlled costs via pre-set budgets and spending limits A user friendly and cost effective system
Speaking from experience • Money talks… • Most vessels still sails with paper charts as the official chart • Due to price, they combine this with various un-authorized electronic charts even if ENCs are available • Hard to convert to ECDIS/ENCs • Both Flag- and Port State have to accept ECDIS as a main tool for navigation • Some still doesn’t, and the vessel needs up to date paper charts anyway • In general, use of ENC increase slowly • Has to be enforced by laws/regulations, or price
What’s in the Jeppesen Future? Continue to support customers with up-to-date charts Support customers with converting to mandatory ECDIS and supplying ENCs Continue to improve the ”IS” part of our ECDIS strategy and the ”One Stop Shop” philosophy By delivering onboard decision tools By simplifying administration (e.g. chart management) By adding new functionality into the chart e.g. being able to display information such as: Onboard routing Growler warnings Whale migration areas (subject to heavy fines e.g. by USCG) Freak waves Other ”NO GO” areas
