- NaviGate is compliant to IMO resolution A.893(2), ICS Bridge Procedures Guide and relevant legislations and follows the requirements and company policies
- Charts, T&P, Nav Warnings, dangers along the route: fully automated
- NaviGate manages the required data for safe navigation. It automatically creates the complete voyage plan document, compliant to the strict requirements of tanker vessels
The integrated NaviGate platform facilities automated collaborative navigation planning, consolidating all the data required in an easy-to-use interface providing smarter situational awareness.
Benefits:
- Optimised voyage planning = mitigates risk
- Reduction in manual entry requirements = reduces human error and time
- Reduced risk = better decision making and compliance conformity
- Increased transparency = common, shared input with shore teams ensures more efficient management
ADP & AENP
Navigate supports all official ADP & AENP
data with integrated viewer.
Weather
NaviGate provides full weather for all your needs. You will get six days of accurate high quality data. You will get worldwide forecasts for the following parameters:
• Wind (speed and direction)
• Vortex path (tropical cyclones and significant low pressure forecasted tracks)
• Pressure at mean sea level
• Current (speed and direction)
• Swell (speed, direction and period)
• Height of 500mb pressure level
• Significant total waves (speed, direction and period)
NaviGate also provides operational JCOMM official bulletins for each MetArea country, with most relevant forecast information useful for navigating officers in everyday routines.
Route Optimization
NaviGate can help you to plan the best route according to latest information available, this feature can help to save time and consumption, provides an optional route considering the following parameters:
• Weather risk analysis along the planned route & calculation of the optimized route with printed reports
Navareas & Navtex
This feature allows you to reduce workload. All Navarea warnings are available through NaviGate, displayed in a user-friendly interface.
Geo-referenced warnings are displayed on the map and a whole collection of them is visible in a separate table. You can select them on map and check required information for the voyage.
• Navarea / Navtex warnings are updated up to 4 times a day, displayed on the chart and filtered along the
route.
Planning to Monitoring
The monitoring within NaviGate satisfies:
- IMO Route Planning stages: Planning, Executing, Monitoring
- SEEMP requirements: Safety, Compliance, and Optimiszation
Safety:
- Monitors the voyage execution and checks if the latest conditions have contributed any unacceptable hazards to the safe conduct of the passage
- Monitors the current the current voyage against the approved Voyage Plan. Highlight any discrepancies to the original
- NaviGate provides you with graphical dash-boards
Compliance:
- Records the voyage and all linked parameters, including fuel and emission. NaviGate fully complies to IMO requirements & regulations
- Automated creation of MRV "Voyage" and "in port" reports in XML format, which can be directly imported into the MRV report service
Executing the planned voyage:
- Activate voyage is loaded together with the route
- Ship's position is shown on the chart
- Active route is checked against the latest weather and current forecasts
- Evaluation of the risks deriving from Wind and Wave profiles. Display the visibility conditions
- Upcoming events (entry into Marpol areas, authorised ballast water release areas, reporting points ...) are displayed on the charts together with the vessel's position
Emission Reporting
Fuel reporting
- During the execution of the Active Voyage reports are created according to MRV emission monitoring plan of the ship owner/manager
- Reports are automatically populated with date/time , distance since last report. elapsed time. cargo
- Fuel consumption and type of reports must be filled in manually
- At port arrival, all reports related to the voyage are processed and the MRV report is created and forwarded to shore
- When the vessel leaves the arrival port, the MRV "In Port" is created and forwarded
- To be MRV compliant, the ship owner needs to connect to MRV cloud and import the reports received from the ship
Pays
Pay As You Sail provides an effortless navigation for the mariners.
The vessel will be tracked and will be provided with a full AVCS PAYS worldwide license, where all the charts of the world are included.
These charts will be installed on NaviGate and the Master will have to select the geographical area they need, not to burden the ECDIS with too much data.
Once the Master extracts the permits from NaviGate, using a USB stick, these permits will have to be installed onto the ECDIS, and the Master will be able to carry out the Passage Plan.
NaviGate interfaces the AVCS catalogue with the route of the vessel. At the end of the month, the Ship Owner/Manager will receive a cumulative invoice with all the 3 months activated charts.
The Master will be able to update the charts every week.
The PAYS system enables to view ALL the charts for planning, but only the charts where the vessel sails will be charged. The Master will not be required to the chart’s activation anymore, it will be automatic.
Once the voyage starts, only the charts on which the vessel actually sails through will be licensed for 3 months and charged to the vessel, according to the satellite tracking.
NaviFlag
A database of maritime documents including Flag States' and International compliance documentation. Integrated in the NaviGate software, it allows the ship to have intelligent, quick, and convenient access to all rules and regulations.
