Norway: A growing list of ECDIS producers have decided to implement Jeppesen Marine's dynamic licensing service as part of their overall offer to commercial shipowners.
Dynamic licensing allows ECDIS users to acquire chart licenses as they need them, bringing greater simplicity, cost control and transparency to this process. Dynamic licensing has been under trial since 2007, and now several ECDIS producers are seeking type approval from the IMO for consoles featuring this unique service from Jeppesen Marine.
"The electronic chart supplier who is able to bring navigators the kind of information and services that they want most from an ECDIS will win an invaluable role as a partner in maritime navigation," said Tor Svanes, Managing Director, Jeppesen Norway.
Jeppesen Marine's Dynamic Licensing service allows ECDIS users to acquire precisely those ENC licenses they need exactly when they need them. Given a SENC chart catalogue, ECDIS users need licenses to open up geographic cells of navigational information on ENCs as they sail, or when they plan the route. Dynamic Licensing automates the process of acquiring these licenses and simultaneously employs subscription zones and credit limits to control costs. Online updating and reporting ensures that both users and back offices have an accurate picture of the situation at sea, and in the accounts.
