Paperless Navigation
Transas Hellas agreed with Minerva Marine to equip its fleet with ECDIS and official charts aiming to shift within a specified timeframe to paperless navigation. In addition to the premium line of Transas ECDIS and Transas Admiralty Data Service TADS (official ENCs), Minerva Marine decided to deploy additional back up arrangements both for hardware and software, including Transas TX-97 vector charts.
Minerva Marine Inc. will also implement satellite tracking of the fleet through the Transas FleetManager Online which will enable, at the final stage, continuous monitoring of the fleet charts collection update status on each vessel.
