Navmaster Office is a chart management tool designed to assist managers in situations where traditionally paper charts have been required. It has varied applications such as emergency response planning, incident management, post-incident analysis, route risk assessment, route planning, port assessment, feasibility studies, moorings management and more. It can be installed on a laptop, desktop or on a network.
Navmaster Professional is being developed to the IMO ECDIS specification and at the same time our customer feedback is being incorporated into the user interface, with emphasis on ease of use and clarity of display.
In dealing with an incident at sea, almost the first support document needed by the response team is a navigational chart of the area. From a lat/long input Navmaster Office will bring up the right chart in less than one minute.
Tools such as the range and bearing function make it easy to use the chart. Tidal stream overlays can assist the risk assessment process and help determine the right course of action.
During post-incident investigation, Navmaster can replicate incident position and attendant factors, provide colour chart print-outs for briefings and reports for high-class presentation.
A Navmaster Office supports a very wide variety of business requirements in shipping offices. Route-planning is a requirement for many managers. Simple to create and professionally documented, Navmaster's passage plan reports can even be customised to your company's corporate identity.
The system's unique database features allow managers to keep an effective record of data and changes to data - navigation objects, for example, or moorings.
For tasks such as project assessment, managers using Navmaster Office can carry out rapid detailed appraisals of potential sites for development from their desk. With better initial preparation, subsequent site visits also become more cost-effective.
