Easier navigational information management and
ordering
An essential part of the passage-planning process is
to ensure the navigational information for an intended
route is up-to-date and complete.
With Planning Station, bridge offcers can keep costs
and download sizes under control by ordering only
those charts and publications required for a specifc
voyage. With ADMIRALTY digital products and
services, permits and data can be ordered and received
immediately.
Fast and efficient updates
You can receive electronic updates for ADMIRALTY
digital products by internet download, email or disc,
and they can be applied quickly and accurately, with

information to the ECDIS.

incomplete passage-planning tasks between crew
rotations.
This digital updating service, available at no extra charge
from the UKHO, reduces time and effort compared to

updated (their status), and lets them print or export
reports to support inspections.

particularly valuable if the ECDIS on board does not
currently display AIO.

paper charts and publications they hold by using paper-
chart updating applications that are authorised to work
with Planning Station.

We have used e-Navigator and have found it to be
an outstanding tool. It is easy to plan the voyages,

perfectly.

Master, TNKC Kobe
ADMIRALTY e-Navigator is the best program
Ihave used for managing ENCs, mainly because it
is much easier to use than other programs. It also helps
offcers to do their job as it contains many products and
features in a single program.
