BridgeDirect!

Bridge Direct has successfully been installed across a UK major oil shipping fleet as well as a large number of other vessels. Bridge Direct by Lilley and Gillie enables the mariner onboard a vessel to view and print up to date corrections and tracings acting as a Digital Notice To Mariners.

Updates can be installed either by an automatic email, or via a CD.

Email Updates

Onboard charts can be corrected on a weekly basis as vessels receive weekly updates received via a compressed email reducing the file size to a minimum. The vessel only receives tracings specific to the vessels chart index further reducing the email file size.

CD Updates

Another alternative is taking advantage of the once fortnightly CD update that is sent to the vessel when possible, again the CD only contains tracing corrections specific to the vessel.
