agency formerly known as Todd Chart

Agency will now trade as ‘Todd.’ “At Todd, we combine our industry ex- perience with the supply of leading chart management techniques,” said Capt

William Todd, Todd’s founder and owner. “We believe in working closely and col- laboratively with each customer to ensure that we can provide the most relevant products for their needs from our exten- sive range of electronic charts, digital publications, navigational data and hard- ware.”

Todd’s product range includes ECDIS hardware from a number of manufactur- ers and a global portfolio of electronic charts and digital publications including the full range of Admiralty digital and paper products. Earlier this year, Todd signed a partnership agreement with

ECDIS Ltd., one of the industry’s largest specialist ECDIS Training outfits to pro- vide IMO-approved ECDIS Training courses to all its’ customers, either at

ECDIS Ltd’s purpose-built training facil- ity in Southampton, or at a number of sites around the world. Todd offers a full, global, IMO-compliant range of digital products and systems, including e-Navi- gator, UKHO’s newest product - one which looks set to change the face of nav- igation. Todd was one of the first UKHO distributors to trial e-Navigator with one of its customers: a large dry cargo trans- porter.

Kelvin Hughes used SMM 2010 as a backdrop for the launch of its new

ECDIS service: ECDISPLUS, which was developed by navigation specialists to provide a solid solution to the confusion surrounding ECDIS and enables cus- tomers to put together a bespoke package with the added benefit of world-class support, training and expertise. ECDIS-

PLUS is flexible and designed to meet the requirements of shipowners and op- erators both for paperless operations and for those operating with paper charts and migrating to ECDIS with a paper back- up. At the launch of ECDISPLUS, Kelvin

Hughes’ own navigational data special- ists revealed the full ECDISPLUS pack- age, which includes ECDIS hardware supply and installation, initial official

ENC chart data supply, chart licence management and ChartCo updates.

They also revealed the power behind the new service: the ability to enable each customer to tailor ECDISPLUS to their individual vessel or fleet requirements – from the supply of world-class ECDIS hardware through to the complete ECDIS data package including ENCs and voyage management software.
