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.

Emergency response & analysis benefits

• Speeds up response times

• Gives managers a competitive edge when handling incidents at sea

• Enables managers to be in touch from anywhere in the world

• Provides standard Windows tools for creating and printing reports

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.

Navmaster can store and export data, such as vessel information from Lloyds Register or the ETA of the nearest rescue vessel, which can then be transmitted to all relevant parties. Images can be stored to aid analysis and assessment.

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.

Route risk assessment, planning and management benefits

• Makes it simple to store fully documented berth-to-berth passage plans

• Assists compliance with MGN 72 and ISM Code

• Helps managers assess feasibility and costings for surveys, cable-laying, buoyage, moorings management

• Data can be exported from Navmaster to other Windows applications

• When used with Navmaster Professional, routes and logs can be e-mailed from vessels for display in Navmaster Office

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.
