NAVTOR puts owners, navigators and industry in control with launch of NavStation 6.0 NAVTOR has announced a major upgrade of its NavStation software, introducing new features delivering enhanced security, usability, accuracy and efficiency for an increasingly digitized shipping industry. The solution, which originally launched in 2014 as the world’s first digital chart table, has been revamped to offer more seamless passage planning, faster and higher quality rendering of charts, even more robust cyber security, and better functionality for busy vessel navigators. NavStation has undergone constant evolution since its arrival. A continual process of innovation has seen features including the much-vaunted passage planning (PP) module added (cutting PP administration time from an average of over three hours per voyage to 30 minutes) and last year’s integration of Optimum Ship Routing (from Weathernews Inc.). Navigators now have everything they need to take vessels from berth to berth on one seamless platform, while land-based teams get a new level of oversight and control. NavStation 6.0 takes this to the next level.
